I'll correct that. I did find at least one set of StratumOne servers (those belonging to nist.gov) that do allow contact by end clients. They even explain how to do it on their website. > Still, why can't HP maintain its own NTP servers for its own products? HP did host a StratumOne server under the hp.com domain at one time, but it went offline for some reason. With the way that companies get purchased, merged, re-organized, etc., it's probably a better policy to just use the pool.ntp.org servers. I'll get this fixed in the next firmware release. -Lee Devlin http://www.k0lee.com _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
