    <title>Description</title>

    <para><emphasis remap="B">timelord</emphasis> is a simple time server for
    Macintosh computers that use the <emphasis remap="B">tardis</emphasis>
    client. It has the same capabilities as the "Timelord" CDEV for Macintosh.</para>

    <para><emphasis remap="B">tardis</emphasis> is implemented as a Chooser
    extension. In the Chooser, choose the <emphasis remap="B">timelord
    </emphasis> instance to synchronize the Mac's system time with. Once
    synchronized, <emphasis remap="B">tardis</emphasis> will automatically
    synchronize with the server at boot, or scheduled
    at regular intervals while the Mac is running
    (the latter requires tardis 1.4).</para>
