            Bug ID: 90085
           Summary: timesyncd: documentation about /var/lib/systemd/clock
                    is wrong
           Product: systemd
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: general
          Assignee: systemd-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: norrepli at gmail.com
        QA Contact: systemd-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

The documentation at
http://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd-timesyncd.service.html
says:

> /var/lib/systemd/clock
>   This file contains the timestamp of last successful synchronization.

However, that file is created even if systemd-timesyncd couldn't connect to a
server. See src/timesync/timesyncd.c, lines 63-64:

> /* create stamp file with the compiled-in date */
> touch_file("/var/lib/systemd/clock", true, min, uid, gid, 0644);

I wouldn't call creating a file with the timestamp of the systemd build a
"successful synchronization".
