Description

The systemd_timesyncd service can be enabled with the following command:

$ sudo systemctl enable systemd_timesyncd.service

Rationale

Enabling the systemd_timesyncd service ensures that this host uses the ntp protocol to fetch time data from a ntp server. Synchronizing time is essential for authentication services such as Kerberos, but it is also important for maintaining accurate logs and auditing possible security breaches.

Additional information on Ubuntu network time protocol is available at

https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/NTP.html.en.

Remediation

Shell script

The following script can be run on the host to remediate the issue.

#!/bin/bash

# Remediation is applicable only in certain platforms
if [ ! -f /.dockerenv ] && [ ! -f /run/.containerenv ] && { ( ! ( dpkg-query --show --showformat='${db:Status-Status}\n' 'chrony' 2>/dev/null | grep -q installed ) && ! ( dpkg-query --show --showformat='${db:Status-Status}\n' 'ntp' 2>/dev/null | grep -q installed ) ); }; then

SYSTEMCTL_EXEC='/usr/bin/systemctl'
"$SYSTEMCTL_EXEC" unmask 'systemd-timesyncd.service'
"$SYSTEMCTL_EXEC" start 'systemd-timesyncd.service'
"$SYSTEMCTL_EXEC" enable 'systemd-timesyncd.service'

else
    >&2 echo 'Remediation is not applicable, nothing was done'
fi

Ansible playbook

The following playbook can be run with Ansible to remediate the issue.
