What none of the articles mentioned was on how to synchronize system
time with npt. I had already installed npt it was the synchronizing that
I wasn't remembering and there was no mention of how to for anything
but systemd linked resources. It got it linked but likely used a technique
far too close to that of a 20# sledge hammer.

Given that Devuan is about the 'not' use of systemd it would seem sorta
normal to have a how-to for a newbie - - - - - and I couldn't find anything
that wasn't using systemd except for npt and then npt only synchronizes
only on machine starts.

Thanks guys
