With NTP, the recommendation is at least 3 sources, as with 2, if one is wrong, you don't know which one. I have my firewall/router configured for 4.
But if your internal desktop machine is using ntp, it also need 4 sources.
For internal devices, I just use 1, my firewall.
You can specify up to 4 pool.ntp.org servers, by adding a number, such as 0., 1., 2., or 3. before pool.ntp.org.
You can specify country.
Pool.ntp.org will connect to servers according to where you are. If I ping those addresses, I'll generally see servers in the Toronto, Ontario area, which is where I live. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
