Control: reassign -1 ntpsecActually, I think it's better to just reassign the bug report and let Richard decide whether he closes it as wontfix or ships such an integration snippet.
Richard, if you are interested in shipping such a ntp-units.d snippet and you have further questions, please ask.

I searched for an upstream bug at <https://github.com/systemd/systemd> (is that the right place?), but there were no relevant hits. See <https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues?q=is%3Aissue+ntpsec>. Also see <https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2024/03/msg00145.html>. That's the debian-users mailing list discussion with GW's comment.If an NTP service want's to be recognized by timedated, it needs to ship a config snippet in /usr/lib/systemd/ntp-units.d/See man systemd-timedatedLIST OF NETWORK TIME SYNCHRONIZATION SERVICESsystemd-timesyncd will look for files with a ".list" extension in ntp-units.d/ directories. Each file is parsed as a list of unit names, one per^ this is a typo, should be systemd-timedated [1]line. Empty lines and lines with comments ("#") are ignored. Files are read from /usr/lib/systemd/ntp-units.d/ and the corresponding directories under /etc/, /run/, /usr/local/lib/. Files in /etc/ override files with the same name in /run/, /usr/local/lib/, and /usr/lib/. Files in /run/ override files with the same name under /usr/. Packages should install their configuration files in /usr/lib/ (distribution packages) or/usr/local/lib/ (local installs). Example 1. ntp-units.d/ entry for systemd-timesyncd # /usr/lib/systemd/ntp-units.d/80-systemd-timesync.list systemd-timesyncd.serviceIf the environment variable $SYSTEMD_TIMEDATED_NTP_SERVICES is set, systemd-timesyncd will parse the contents of that variable as a colon-separated list of unit names. When set, this variable overrides the file-based list described above.systemd-timesyncd and chrony do this properly. # apt-file search /usr/lib/systemd/ntp-units.d/ chrony: /usr/lib/systemd/ntp-units.d/50-chrony.list systemd-timesyncd: /usr/lib/systemd/ntp-units.d/80-systemd-timesync.list I've CCed the ntpsec maintainers.If they have interest in shipping such an integration, then we can reassign the bug report. Otherwise I'll just close it, as there is nothing we can do on the systemd sideRegards, Michael [1] https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/31658
