Hello! We want to move our computers to a central time source to remove timedifferences and be able to set all clocks at one server only. I have read the manpage for xntpd, which we intend to use. As I understand it, configuration should in the clients be: server <x.x.x.x> and in the server: broadcast <x.x.x.255>. But there are, if I'm not mistaken, also public, national (or international?) ntp-servers from where you can obtain absolute correct time, to remove all the need for setting the clock??? Or there should at least be ... :) My questions are: 1. Am I right? 2. If I'm right, where can I find such a public NTP-server ... 3. ... and how do I configure this, just server <w.x.y.z> in all my computers, or something else? 4. If my simple guesses at configuration above are wrong, could some generous human being please send me a configuration-example? It seems to me that it shouldn't be this easy, so I must have missed something :) Thanks for your time! Peter Olsson pol@leissner.se
