D-Link Settles Danish Time Dispute

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the cash-out-your-chips-now dept.

igb writes "The Register reports that DLink has settled the time server dispute described a little over a month ago here on Slashdot. They're going to stop using an NTP server they're not really authorized to chime with, and they've reached an amicable settlement over the use by existing products. The details of the settlement are, not unsurprisingly, somewhat vague, but let's hope that the good guys aren't out of pocket any more."

    OK? I still don't see what's wrong with that. It is an open service this guy has available to anyone (singular or plural). DLink is merely using the free service that is available to the public - without bypassing security of any kind...seems like it is fair game to me..

    The "Internet Time" tab on the date/time systray control lets you sync with time.nist.gov which is not supposed to be used by clients.
