[App_rpt-users] ASL time

[Tim Sawyer]

Debian Stretch authors have changed the time stuff quite a bit.

Set the time zone:
https://www.server-world.info/en/note?os=Debian_9&p=timezone

Start the Stretch version of ntpd:
systemctl enable systemd-timesyncd

Show time sync status:
systemctl status systemd-timesyncd
