Thanks for raising this issue, but as I understand it, the only right way to solve this is to fix bug 104525. As a temporary improvement, we can simply remove Stratum 1 (and possibly 3) from our list, but how many servers would be left? We should definitely be using a custom NTP pool and leave the list empty by default.
If you want this fix to happen, please get the file from [1], remove servers you think should not be present, and attach it here. I'll take care of committing this upstream. Else, I don't think there's a chance somebody will work on it... And if you want to spend your time on even more useful tasks, I guess you should contact pool.ntp.org so that they set up a GNOME or Ubuntu pool, and then we can use this as the default, after asking the security team. ;-) BTW, I'm setting the importance to Low because by default, the bug doesn't happen, and I don't think many people play with their NTP servers without knowing the name of a correct server they want to use. 1: http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-system-tools/plain/src/time/ntp- servers-list.c ** Changed in: gnome-system-tools (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: gnome-system-tools (Ubuntu) Status: New => Triaged -- [time-admin] ntp server selection should not suggest stratum 1 servers https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/674868 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
