I normally configure my computers to use either my firewall/router or

For a public service, I thought it was generally agreed to use the ntp pool servers:
I don't use those UoT servers, as I seem to recall reading you need permission to use them. I often use ca.pool.ntp.org when setting up systems, but my own computers and firewall are configured to use ntp.nrc.ca, with my firewall also configured for ntp.chu.nrc.ca and ca.pool.ntp.org as backups. Both the nrc servers are operated by Canada's National Research Council and so I pay for them through my taxes. ;-) Incidentally, ntp.chu.nrc.ca is the official time standard station for Canada, which broadcasts on a few shortwave bands, similar to the way the U.S. NIST has WWV etc. Either way, I have no problem using a public government owned server, whereas I wouldn't use privately owned ones, other than through pool.ntp.org. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
