+##### TimeSync should adapt host time discipline, not implement NTP
+
+The NetWare-4.x `0x2222/114` Time Synchronization compatibility provider should
+not grow into a full NTP implementation.  That would duplicate operating-system
+infrastructure and create a new time-discipline service inside mars-nwe.
+
+The preferred design is an adapter:
+
+```text
+NCP 114 TimeSync request
+  -> servermgmt/time provider
+  -> host system clock and configured time service
+     (ntpd, chrony, systemd-timesyncd, or local administrator policy)
+  -> NetWare-compatible TimeSync reply
+```
+
+For early compatibility, `114/01` Get Time can be backed by the local system
+clock.  Future `114/02` Exchange Time and server-list queries may report the
+configured local policy or host time-service status, but mars-nwe should not try
+to manage or reconfigure `ntpd`, chrony, or systemd-timesyncd at runtime.  In
+particular, `114/06` Set Server List should not be wired to fake success or to
+blindly rewrite host NTP configuration until there is an explicit, safe admin
+policy for that behavior.
+
+This keeps TimeSync in the `servermgmt` provider boundary and avoids adding a
+new process.  It also keeps the security model simple: the host remains
+responsible for disciplining time; mars-nwe only translates that state into the
+NetWare-compatible NCP surface.

 ### Suggested provider map
 
 The endpoint audit table should be able to use provider names like these:
