NTP

We run a local NTP time-synchronisation service for Informatics, and recommend that self-managed machines on our network are set up to use it rather than remote timeservers. There are four machines - ntp0.inf.ed.ac.uk, ntp1.inf.ed.ac.uk, ntp2.inf.ed.ac.uk, and ntp3.inf.ed.ac.uk For robustness you should configure your machine to synchronise to as many of these as your system will allow.

These are not accessible from outside the EdLAN network. If you would like to use timeservers from outside, you should use a public service, for example pool.ntp.org, time.google.com, time.windows.com, time.apple.com
