You'll find the configuration file for this newly installed daemon at 
/etc/ntp.conf
, 
which will contain some lines of configuration detailing which servers your local 
ntp
 
daemon will attempt to synchronize time with:
pool 0.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org iburst 
pool 1.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org iburst 
pool 2.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org iburst 
pool 3.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org iburst 
As you can see, our server will synchronize with Ubuntu's time servers if we leave 
the default configuration as it is. For most users, that's perfectly fine. There's nothing 
wrong with using Ubuntu's servers. If you'd like to have your server synchronize 
with other time servers, you can set that here. At this point, we actually have an NTP 
server set up. Believe it or not, it was that easy. When we installed the 
ntp
 package, 
the server began using it to synchronize to Ubuntu's time servers. Now that the 
server is synchronized, you can have other devices on your network synchronize 
to it. 
Before we get ahead of ourselves though, we should make sure that the server we 
installed NTP on is synchronizing properly. This will give us a chance to use the 
ntpq
 command, which we can use to view statistics about how well our server is 
synchronizing. The 
ntpq -p
 command should print out statistics we can use to 
verify connectivity:
