Yeah, and then get several seconds error (I checked).
Yes of course, it is not meant for regular operation. It is the last-ditch option, only meant for that situation where no other server can be reached, temporarily. Used to be the default in openSUSE, btw. Fiddling with multiple servers would be too much effort for me - for a single PC or a small network with no local time source, I would probably just add the local and pool.ntp.org. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (7.0°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free dynamic DNS, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
