The pool.ntp.org round robin time server initiative is in need of folks who are interested in contributing a couple of bytes of bandwidth in order to make time a user friendly kind of thing for everyone. No more looking up time servers, etc.

For that purpose, I have written a script that can be used to sync your computer's time using the pool.ntp.org server pool, or if you wish to contribute, it will set up your server to contribute to the cause.

If you plan on just using the pool.ntp.org time servers, then make sure port 123 udp / tcp is open in the firewall and then



and if you wish to contribute back to the linux community then make sure port 123 udp / tcp is open in the firewall and then



Then go to http://www.pool.ntp.org/join.html and add your server to the list.
