Do you have one or several servers configured? You should use as many as 4 or 5, and <dons flamesuit> avoid the pools because they have proven to be a single point of failure IMHO. If you use a pool, make sure you have at least two other clocks named explicitly.
How about the option "Use Random Servers from pool.ntp.org" in openSUSE 10.2? YaST puts {0,1,2}.pool.ntp.org in /etc/ntp.conf, of which the DNS-records change every hour.
Or do you still stand by your advice I quoted?
That was exactly what my advice was referring to. For some reason that has never worked for me in a reliable way. Perhaps occasionally that url is unreachable or something. I prefer selecting a server that I have known to be workable and reliable. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
