That was fast!  You are SO on it, Mr. Chee!  :D

Since you work with the UH IT dept., I'm not surprised you produced a UH server. Is this particular server _reliably_ deployed? I.e., will it likely be consistently available 5 years from now? There are a lot of devices, like phones, that I need to set a good NTP server on that I might not check for several years.

Thanks Brian,

Hi All!

     After the new NTP DOS vulnerability, a lot of NTP servers are changing
their operation.

     I have used the navy's atomic clock at tick.mhpcc.hpc.mil for quite
some time, but it appears that they may be reducing access to it now.

     Many of my clients use RoadRunner locally, which doesn't seem to have
a publicly-listed NTP server in this area.  I could use the pool from
CentOS, or even the one from Apple, but I want to make sure I use a server
or pool of them that won't be overwhelmed/useless like the Microsoft NTP
servers.  So far, using 0.us.pool.ntp.org  looks like a solid choice for
long-term reliability, but nist1-la.ustiming.org yields better ping
times, and the NIST has a nice status page at http://tf.nist.gov/tf-cgi/
servers.cgi   for checking service.

Any better suggestions?

Thanks,

-Jeff
