Hello all, The Department of Computer Science of the University of Melbourne has for many years hosted the stratum 1 NTP server at ntp.cs.mu.oz.au. This service is heavily used, with requests coming from all corners of the world; it responds to approximately 500 requests per second on average.
This service will be discontinued from 01 January 2010. We no longer have the capability (budget and manpower) to maintain the service in its current state, and rather than letting it degrade and fail, we're bringing it down in a controlled manner. We kindly ask that anyone who perchance maintains a publicly available list of NTP servers remove ntp.cs.mu.oz.au and related servers (ntp0, ntp1, ntp2) from that list. We are doing our best to locate maintainers of high-profile lists to get the servers unlisted. A similar request is made of anyone who ships software that includes these servers in a list of possible synchronisation targets. Also, of course, if you manage systems that sync with these servers, we ask that you start using a different system. We atrongly recommend using the services of pool.ntp.org. Thank you for your cooperation. -Wilson -- Wilson Roberto Afonso wafo...@unimelb.edu.au Systems Administrator +61 3 8344 1271 IT Services Melbourne School of Engineering _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
