You don't need a Canadian one, even the North American pool NTP sources work fine you set your timezone.

True. I have it like this:
server 0.pool.ntp.org server 1.pool.ntp.org server 2.pool.ntp.org server 3.pool.ntp.org
which works fine. Or, you can use:
server 0.ca.pool.ntp.org server 1.ca.pool.ntp.org server 2.ca.pool.ntp.org server 3.ca.pool.ntp.org
which gives you Canadian servers. Or, you use a combination, like 4 Canadian servers, and 4 international servers. Don't worry, the ntp daemon is clever enough to find out on the list which are the best ones, and which to discard.
In my case, the command:
Telcontar:~ # rcntp ntptimeset 28 Jun 22:43:41 sntp[7729]: Started sntp 2014-06-28 22:43:41.419620 (-0100) -0.000659 +/- 0.120956 secs Time synchronized with AmonLanc.valinor Telcontar:~ #
says that the best current one now is a local network machine, that runs 24*7.
Also, let ntp run for a while then run ntpq -p and the clock with the asterisk is the one that it is synced to, and also the most accurate. It will do some hocus pocus to toss out the clocks that seem nu-reliable, they will have minus. The character in the left margin indicates the fate of this peer in the clock selection process. The codes are as follows: <sp> Indicates the peer was discarded due to high stratum or failed sanity checks, or both. x Indicates the peer was designated falseticker by the intersection algorithm. . Indicates that this peer was culled from the end of the candidate list. - Indicates that the peer was discarded by the clustering algorithm. + Indicates that the peer was included in the final selection set. # Indicates the peer was selected for synchronization, but distance exceeds the maximum. * Indicates the peer was selected for synchronization. o Indicates the peer was selected for synchronization; pps signal in use. - -- _____________________________________ - ---This space for rent--- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) iEYEARECAAYFAlOvMzIACgkQv7M3G5+2DLK2UwCfex6Muli0UWz+JLjuYMmxtjmK CnIAn0l/4+5cP4vItaI5kmbZ7KQqBnS2 =Wpo+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
