NTP

Network Time Protocol. This will make your system date match actual date, by synchronizing with network time servers.

{i} systemd-timesyncd acts as a NTP client even when no network is available. This is enough to synchronize a system. NTP deamon is required only when a NTP server is required. See Freedesktop.org's page on timesyncd for more details

Install and Configure

aptitude install ntp

Public Internet Time Servers

The Debian package will install a default set of time servers which should be good for most typical client installations. However you may customize this for your network location. A good source of NTP pool information is the NTP Pool Project.
