Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome-system-tools
In the Time and Date configuration window (documented on <https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuTime>), the servers suggested in the Time server window is inadequate. Many of the servers suggested are stratum 1 servers (for servers around Switzerland for instance I found out ntps1-0.cs.tu-berlin.de, ntps1-1.cs .tu-berlin.de, ntps1-2.uni-erlangen.de, canon.inria.fr, chronos.cru.fr, ntp.cesnet.cz, time.ien.it, ntp0.nl.net and ntp1.nl.net to be stratum 1). Stratum 1 servers are servers directly connected to a reference clock. Stratum 1 time servers should be used only by stratum 2 time servers (serving a large number of clients and / or stratum 3 servers). Stratum 1 servers should not be used by terminal clients (see <http://support.ntp.org/bin/view/Servers/RulesOfEngagement>) and should not be advertised in the server selection window. Failing to do so will increase stratum 1 servers load and consequently reduce their availability, reducing the accuracy of the whole system. Stratum 1 servers should be detected, removed from this selection window, and replaced by stratum 2 (or even 3) servers which are good enough for most cases. Ideally the NTP pool should be used (see bug #104525). ** Affects: gnome-system-tools (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: time-admin -- [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
