LPIC-1 Exam 102 v5 (Linux Administrator) — Question 106

Which of the following situations is observed and corrected by an NTP client?

Answer options

• A. The skew in time between the system clock and the computer's hardware clock.
• B. The physical location and the timezone configuration.
• C. Changes in the time zone of the current computer's location.
• D. Adjustment needed to support Daylight Saving Time.
• E. The skew in time between the system clock and the reference clock.

Correct answer: E

Explanation

The correct answer, E, is right because an NTP client specifically addresses the discrepancy between the system clock and the reference clock to synchronize time. The other options, while related to time settings, do not fall under the direct function of an NTP client, which focuses solely on clock skew corrections.
