Really. Much of ntp.org needs cleaning or purging but since offers to assist are ignored this seems like something simple. Just remove the list and replace it with a link to the pool which has the advantage of being maintained. The OP's real problem is republishing junk. Fortunately it's harmless because most soon-to-be pool members will find a better solution. PS. How to answer the OPs problem if you're in the US given this guidance "but should configure some good servers <http://support.ntp.org/bin/view/Servers/StratumTwoTimeServers> manually (those servers *may* be chosen from the pool...)". $ for j in $(for i in 0 1 2 3;do host $i.us.pool.ntp.org;done|cut -d ' ' -f4|sort -u|grep '^[0-9]');do ntpdate -dp1 $j|egrep '^server|^stratum|^offset';done Pick the ones you like from the list you get back. _______________________________________________ pool mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/pool
