Feature changed by: Johan Kotze (gogga) Feature #303520, revision 23 Title: Default NTP Setup openSUSE-11.1: Done Priority Requester: Mandatory Projectmanager: Mandatory Requested by: Federico Lucifredi (flucifredi) Description: A Yast pane should prompt for NTP set up, which should be configured by default, but of course can also be disabled there. Relations: - suse.pool.ntp.org (feature/id: 302915) - Depens on (feature/id: 303521) Documentation Impact: Installation guide needs to be updated. [0123].opensuse.pool.ntp.org mentioned for openSUSE. If you want me to document something for SLE11, please set the Doc Status accordingly. Discussion: #1: Stanislav Visnovsky (visnov) (2008-06-17 12:56:47) Federico, NTP setup is already possible. Do you want it in a more prominent place? Also I see a missing way for the product to pre-define the value, correct? #2: Federico Lucifredi (flucifredi) (2008-06-23 21:03:12) (reply to #1) right. I want to see it pre-enabled by default againt a dedicated suse.pool. ntp.org / time.novell.com server (separate feature for that). We are lagging a bit behind Win and Mac where the vendos provide their own time source, and we need to catch up there. #3: Jiri Srain (jsrain) (2008-07-07 12:18:32) We will need not only to enable NTP during installation, but display this information in the installation proposal (and possibly time zone dialog) as well. #6: Jiří­ Suchomel (jsuchome) (2008-08-12 13:27:44) (reply to #3) OK, this (http://w3.suse.de/~jsuchome/screenshots/yast2-timezone-ntp-status.png) is proposal how to show the info in current time zone dialog. It is probably bad that status is part of the frame label, but I didn't want to take more space from the whole dialog by adding new line... #4: Stephan Kulow (coolo) (2008-07-31 16:15:46) for openSUSE it's 0.opensuse.pool.ntp.org 1.opensuse.pool.ntp.org 2. opensuse.pool.ntp.org 3.opensuse.pool.ntp.org, for SLE there is no NTP server. time.novell.com can not be used, IS&T does not provide that level of service. #7: Jiří­ Suchomel (jsuchome) (2008-09-02 16:05:00) Alpha2 solution is working, to solve remaining issues there is a bug 422128. + #8: Johan Kotze (gogga) (2009-04-13 14:58:56) + Just to throw a spanner in the works - why don't we use geo-ip location + to pre-fill the timezone. I know this requires a working ip, but just a + suggestion. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/303520
