You don't need a list Fred, just google up a list and pick one at random.

maybe even ntp.lightlink.com with a backup from a state university. 'Been using the MIT site for a long time....I just wanted to point out

Thanks, Patrick. 'Using the MIT site, but wanted it know that there's not a list with RC2. There will be a lot of newbies getting 11.2 when it's "gold," and it's best when 'Bloze users who read about 11.2 on ZDNet, or wherever, and get it don't have any problems.

I just tried "yast ntp configuration - add - server - select - public ntp server" and it gives me a list. I've got to rc2 via factory though, maybe there's a bug if you fresh install or update from 11.1. Regards Dave P

Why would anyone want a list? The ntp people provided the pool servers especially so that our own prejudices wouldn't overload a few big-name servers and leave others unused. Patrick's list is the only one anyone ought to use.

I don't know where the list comes from but it actually had one more South African server on it than the ntp web site. Regards Dave P -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I think there are a couple of nitpick exceptions to the last sentence, so to avoid future readers getting the wrong meaning here are clarifications:

(1) Patrick's list was only appropriate for yanks. Instead go to http://www.pool.ntp.org/en/ and follow the links there to find an appropriate list for you.

No, I didn't upgrade from anything....clean install of 11.2, but NOT factory. Fred -- A REVOLUTIONARY IDEA! 'Time to put Nana Pelosi in a home!' -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Fred, are you sure? I have (what looks like) a complete list on my RC2 system. I have a local DCF receiver, so I don't use it, but the list looks good.

/Per

I just looked at my system and there is a list on mine. i select Big Bend Community College which is right here in town. Had to find it thru Add--> Sever starting with MS8. I'm now on RC2 with all latest updates so it may be the release version or close. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
