Whoever suggested that is using outdated information. Install ntp
Why not openntpd?

Sure, whatever you prefer. There are at least 4 viable alternatives:
ntp
chrony
openntpd
systemd-timesyncd
Systemd-timesyncd is only a client and using sntp.

Ideal for what the OP wants. Either that or chrony, if he would only
make his mind up.
Well, what makes you think I haven't made my mind up?
Several years ago I built a "network clock" that receives WWVB time
signals, has a clock display and an Ethernet interface so computers on
the local network can ask for the time. The hardware works and the
software is able to decode the WWVB time code. I am interested in
finishing it now. The computers on the network can use a Perl program
to get the time.
Thanks for the help.
Best regards,
Fred
