(lu sur Debian-ISP) Et hop, un projet qui permetterait de faire avancer (un tout petit peu) les choses dans la jongle des serveurs NTP : regrouper un maximum de serveurs sous un nom DNS unique qui pourra �tre mis pas d�faut sur toutes les installation d'Unix libres par exemple.
Le projet semble "bien" lanc� avec une douzaine de serveurs NTP pour le moment, mais un peu d'aide et de partage sont toujours les bienvenus. Pour tout contact, Adrian est � votre disposition (en anglais) : 8<------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Adrian 'Dagurashibanipal' von Bidder" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Time servers (ntp) wanted Date: 28 Jan 2003 11:10:51 +0100 Organization: X-Mailer: Ximian Evolution 1.2.1 Yo! In short: If you have a computer with a static IP address, I'd be glad if you'd run ntpd and offered it for public use on the time.fortytwo.ch DNS round robin. Expected traffic is very low - I hope to get as many time servers as I can, so the load will be spread as far as possible. The longer version: In the comp.protocols.time.ntp newsgroup, it was discussed that some of the public time servers (as listed somewhere on ntp.org) are having problems with too much traffic. I figured: for everyday use, accuracy is no problem (Who cares if their clock goes 100ms wrong?). So, I'm trying to set up a DNS round robin DNS zone on time.fortytwo.ch, so everybody can just use a default ntp.conf and doesn't need to worry ever again. Right now, it's not operating yet: I need timeservers. As I said, accuracy is not the issue right now, so even if it's just a router with stratum 3 or even higher, it can help. If you want to help, just drop me a note at [EMAIL PROTECTED] (or reply to this mail, it's the same, really). If you're interested: there's http://fortytwo.ch/time for more information, including mailing lists. A further note: this project could, of course, also benefit Debian: as soon as there's a big enough number of servers, I think the Debian ntp package could just ship with a default config file that would just work, for the cases where somebody installs ntp but doesn't know his ISP's ntp server. Now I hope to be drowned in email :-) So long -- vbi ---------------------------- Liste de diffusion du FRnOG http://www.frnog.org/ ----------------------------------------------- Archives : http://www.frnog.org/archives.php -----------------------------------------------
