Description Tejun Heo 2008-12-13 12:36:30 UTC

ntp.ewha.net is dead and has been for quite some time (at least for several months).  This is the default server for Korea and it kind of makes ntp configuration pain in the ass because synchronize-now and test-server take very long without any success and the alternative server list is not readily available.  Please drop this server.  Thanks.

Comment 1 Tejun Heo 2008-12-13 12:39:17 UTC

kr.pool.ntp.org works fine.

Comment 2 Cyril Hrubis 2008-12-15 13:52:01 UTC

Also file /usr/share/YaST2/scrconf/etc_ntp.scr has wrong comments inside, it says it's cups printer agent.

Comment 3 Martin Vidner 2008-12-17 09:49:52 UTC

It turns out I forgot to check the server list for currentness, so there may be other skeletons in this closet.

Comment 4 Martin Vidner 2009-01-06 16:09:01 UTC

Apart from that, there is code to offer kr.pool.ntp.org but it fails to work because Korea is missing from data/country.ycp :-/

Comment 5 Tejun Heo 2009-01-07 02:19:41 UTC

Also, would it be difficult to add "abort" option for testing and synchronize-now?  Timeout is rather long and much of the point of testing is to see whether the server is there and responsive.

Comment 6 Martin Vidner 2009-01-09 13:31:08 UTC

Submitted yast2-ntp-client-2.17.11:
- Removed a server reported nonfunctional.
- Offer CC.pool.ntp.org for countries that do not have any other
  server.

Comment 5 is a sensible request but stupidly enough we do not have a library function for this thing, so for the time being no Abort button.
