# sntpd
> An SNTP server.
> It should not be invoked manually.
> More information: <https://linux.die.net/man/8/snmpd>.
- Start the daemon:
`sntpd`
- Overwrite existing state with the local clock (stratum 1), for running a master/primary server, without synchronizing with another (higher stratum) server:
`sntpd -L`
- Use a custom file for the SNTP state:
`sntpd -z {{path/to/state.bin}}`
