where can i find the arpnetworks ntp ip i should configure my box to use please?
I don't think arp has any local NTP servers
just use one of the pool items
pool.ntp.org is geo-dns, and will hand you addresses based on geo-ip
... http://www.pool.ntp.org/en/use.html
fbsd default ntp.conf has 0.freebsd.pool.ntp.org (iburst) as the first one
yeah
just leave those alone :)
is it safe to use outside ntp servers? if they get hacked, 3rd parties can manipulate my server times correct?
that's why you have multple
ntpd ignores way-crazy items
yea there is 1. and 2. as well
so if 0. was x hours off,ntp would check 1.? i mean, it doesn't just check the others if the first doesn't respond, but also if the data seems wonky?
ntpd can handle it
it checks all simultanousely
and uses voting logic
oh that's really cool!
ty :)
mus1cb0x: not to mention,   the pool occasionally checks the ntp servers in it.  If someone were maliciously trying to skew times..   they'd automatically be removed from the pool.
weird... I wasn't sync'ed at all
so I restarted ntpd, and now it's still not able to sync
and ntpdate fails
I wonder if there's some sort of filtering going on
jpalmer: i'm glad to hear. ty
i'm setting up pf now :)
RandalSchwartz: ntpq -p?
