I want a ntpd running in a container adjust the hw node's time (step a), see below) and the systems hw clock. As far as I know on not virtualized machinges it could be done using the command '/sbin/hwclock -w'. But, how to do it from within a container?

Quote:

It is even recommended to use a container and set the time with NTP within one container for security reasons. In this case you have to:

a) assign a capability SYS_TIME to set the system time
b) give access to the /dev/rtc0 device if you want to also set the time back to the RTC clock

Well, a) is o.k. and already done on my system. But, in detail, how can I perform step b) ?

Thanks for your help in advance!
