From 2467b7d1fb2927c349f4d96456060a4e6d8fd562 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nikolaos Chatzikonstantinou Date: Wed, 20 Sep 2023 17:13:11 +0300 Subject: system: bare-bones: Add comments about nss-cert and NTP service. MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit TLS errors may be confusing to some users. Two comments are added: one comment should help clarify the extra step required for root CA certificates to be installed, while the other will help users keep their clocks synchronized, another source of TLS errors due to clock drift. * gnu/system/examples/bare-bones.tmpl: Add nss-cert and NTP service comments.
