I've setup my system to use NTP long time ago. es.pool.ntp.org is the server of my choice (yep, I'm located in Spain) and the only way to properly get the time from there is by issuing a /etc/init.d/ntp restart command as root... which is not what I'm expecting, as everything was working perfectly some weeks ago... The same happens with my PC at work (also OpenSuSE 10.2)...
Don't use a single server off the pool, use several. And don't be so "polite" as to use servers from Spain only, use nearby countries too. My config uses these: server pool.ntp.org server es.pool.ntp.org server fr.pool.ntp.org server ch.pool.ntp.org server uk.pool.ntp.org server pool.ntp.org server pool.ntp.org server pool.ntp.org server pool.ntp.org server es.pool.ntp.org server es.pool.ntp.org server uk.pool.ntp.org server fr.pool.ntp.org server ch.pool.ntp.org server ch.pool.ntp.org server ch.pool.ntp.org server ch.pool.ntp.org Don't worry if it seems a lot. The program compares them and chooses the best one. Don't do the choosing yourself, programs are made to automate things and take the chores on themselves ;-) - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
