Does 'timesync' know about signed support ?
e.g. /var/lib/samba/ntp_signd

You might want to reconsider using timesync.

Absolutely true for DCs, where ntpd with --enable-ntp-signd is needed,
to provide NTP service to windows client/member.


But for linux DM, what make differences to have time syncronization with DC,
with DC without ntp-signd, or to other NTP sources provided that are
all (decently) in sync?
