[comp.protocols.tcp-ip] Difinitive time server

RUBIN%POLYGRAF@GRAF.POLY.EDU (David Rubin) (04/05/90)

I am looking for a list of difinitive time servers on the Internet.
I need to find the most accurate time possible.  Does anyone
have a list of difinitive time servers?

Please respond via E-mail...

You want to run NTP, the Network Time Protocol.  FTP a copy of
pub/ntp/clock.txt from louie.udel.edu.  The first few lines
follow:
