Publically accesible Australian (or other) time servers on the 'Net

[Anthony g. Spierings]

Try the following numbers. ( I think some of these would be 8 digits by now
so you might have to add the standard prefix)

08 410 0143
07 3221 7033
089 41 3423
002 24 1905
03 600 1641
09 221 5457
02 267 4648

Thanks to everyone that responded both by email and followup.

Some people mentioned dial-up time servers. These would probably be
the most accurate due to greater propogation delays over the 'Net (and
errors correcting for these). If you are only interested in fixing you
PC's clock to about 1 second (probably to 100 mS) it is easiest to use
a public 'Net time server. There are two types of time server -
primary and secondary. Netiquette dictates that you use a secondary
time server if you are not running a site, as the primary ones are
heavily loaded as it is. The secondary ones have sufficient accuracy
for most purposes.

The Web site to visit for more information is
http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~ntp/ . This also has pointers to various
software packages. I am using WinSNTP from Solaris which is a US$25
shareware package from
http://www.solaris.com/winsntp/winsntp.html#Servers .

An Australian public-access secondary server is yoyo.aarnet.edu.au .

Please also read the follow-up posts for more information.

: Public NTP Secondary (stratum 2) Time Servers

:
: Time Server Name Location
: augean.eleceng.adelaide.edu.au South Australia
: ntp.adelaide.edu.au South Australia
: yoyo.aarnet.edu.au South AUSTRALIA

: For a complete list of avaliable time servers, visit the official Time

Just remember that the most important thing to remember is to pick a
time as close to you as possible. If you dont, the delays in accessing
the server will through your clock out even more.

: Hope this helps !! My clock is corrected about 17 sec's a day when I

: log on. {pretty bad, eh!}

My Netware server at work is out by 13 seconds every 4 hours!!

Scott.
