Set Your Clocks With Pooled NTP Servers

Posted by timothy on from the do-it-now-do-it-accurately dept.

Not everyone has such an NTP server available, so that is why www.pool.ntp.org was started. If your server is synced to some discrete timesource like GPS or something like that you can also join the group to help this initiative!"

    I remember hearing a few years ago that the folks who ran tick and tock asked that only second-tier time servers sync to them, and that all the "leaf nodes" sync to a second-tier server. That's why I don't use tick or tock any more.
