You are right, I actually meant to go with server 0.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org iburst server 1.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org iburst server 2.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org iburst server 3.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org iburst
maxsources is only allowed on pools and servers are mostly like "pool maxsource 1". I like the balanced approach you suggested. We own ntp.ubuntu.com and if you recommend it I assume we are ok with getting all 4 of them. I'd also add a comment why we do so, therefore my suggestion would be: # This will use (up to) 4 sources from ntp.ubuntu.com which are ipv6 enabled # It will further get (up to) 2 sources from 2.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org which is ipv6 enabled as well # And further (up to) 1 source from [01].ubuntu.pool.ntp.org (ipv4 only atm) # This means by default an overall of 6 ipv6/ipv4 and 2 more ipv4 only sources and at the same time some protection against one of the entries being down (compare to just using one of the lines). See (LP: #1754358) for the discussion. pool ntp.ubuntu.com iburst pool 0.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org iburst maxsources 1 pool 1.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org iburst maxsources 1 pool 2.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org iburst maxsources 2 Opinions on that? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1754358 Title: Default Ubuntu configuration violates the ntp pool policy To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chrony/+bug/1754358/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
