Overview
The Network Time Protocol (NTP) keeps a computer's clock synchronized with a set of time servers distributed over a network, each with varying accuracy and reliability. Texas A&M Technology Services maintains the following four public NTP time servers.
| Server | Use |
|---|---|
| ntp1.tamu.edu | On-campus |
| ntp2.tamu.edu | On-campus |
| ntp3.tamu.edu | On-campus |
| ntppub.tamu.edu | Off-campus |
For systems which only allow one server to be specified, the name `time.tamu.edu' should be used. This name should only be used in conjunction with DNS.
For Unix clients, there is a sample ntp.conf file located here.
