Hello,
I'm wondering it if is possible for SuSE/Nowell to install public NTP time
servers. These servers would be set as default in its xntp rpm packages.
I'm mantaining a stratum-2 server in my home system with an ADSL connection
since three years ago. Many other volunteers are adding its systems to
pool.ntp.org
http://www.pool.ntp.org/
I think that to provide at least two or three stratum-1 servers (North
America, Europe, Australia ...) will be not dificult to Nowell.
At the installer, the user provides some localization information. From that
(most likely the timezone) a location can be derived which can be used with the
ntp-server to access (for me, in The Netherlands: nl.pool.ntp.org).
Then, only if ntp is installed and there is a direct connection to the internet.
However: there are other ways to get a reasonable ntp-server: It can be
advertized in dhcp information, most current Windows Active Directory servers do
run some ntp protocol to which a workstation can do a reasonable sync its clock.
