I run NTP to set my computer clock and the time is displayed on the task bar. I can also check the time on a U.S. government web site and on a clock that's synced to WWVB, the U.S. National Bureau of Standards time signal. My computer clock tends to be about a half second behind the other two. I though NTP was supposed to be able to do better than that. I connect to the time.nrc.ca NTP server, which is run by the National Research Council in Ottawa, which is the primary time standard for Canada.
See this web page: http://www.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca/eng/services/time/network_time.html They stopped serving time.nrc.ca a few years ago. 2011. You need to change your NTP settings. I suspect if you go to the command line you will find you are not synced at all, and you are running from your existing computer clock. You don't need a Canadian one, even the North American pool NTP sources work fine you set your timezone. (And its generally frowned upon to point all your machines at the either Research Canada or NIST, because of server load. That is what pool NTP servers are for, and also most universities have NTP servers synced to the national servers. -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
