This machine has a working ntp, so it should be within a millisecond or 
so of Boulder CO if the debian "pool" references that src.  The 
recalcitrant armbian running the rockchip card in the printer can access 
this machine for ping4 or ping6 purposes. It would be adequate if for 
timekeeping purposes if it referenced this machine. However its just as 
desirable to get it "online" with the rest of my machines, which 
requires it get rid of the 169.254.nnn.nnn its using now.  I think I've 
found where to do it, but not right now, the printer is busy making me a 
mount to solar power a you've got mail alarm, with is presently using a 
special 12 volt battery, a 23A, every two weeks. My checking for ntp 
does not find anything on that card

So preliminary:
1;install on this machine the whole ntpsec group. That removed the 
systemd/timesyncd utility
2:create the logging dir as spec'd in /etc/ntpsec/ntp.conf. Restart 
/etc/init.d/ntpsec, looks like its working. I'll let it simmer a day.
3: ntp.conf describes how to make a server but i'll have to find some 
man page for LetsEncrypt. Nut that means I'll have to talk to Igor and 
rsync their repo to get it to a place on this machine where that one can 
suck stuff from. df says my boot drive has

/dev/sdb1                 863983352  15834692  804187012   2% /

used, so I ought to be able to do that. Either that, or (thinking 
outside the box) better yet make this machine into a NAT server to that 
machine as that would also enable the use of kiauh to keep the printer 
AND its OS updated.

Is there a ready made package to do that NAT-ing? Or can the modernized 
iptables do that?.

Thanks all.

Cheers, Gene Heskett.
