“Time you old gypsy man, will you not stay?” - the first registered NTP server in India
We are glad to announce that the first and sole (at this time) time server (NTP) in India has been setup at the West Bengal University of Technology.
You can verify this by synchronizing your computer clock to in.pool.ntp.org. As root:
#ntpdate -u in.pool.ntp.org
This cluster is automatically generated. Due to this, the server may not be included in the cluster for very small time periods. Otherwise all clock sync requests from India should be redirected to this server which hosts the service.
At present, this is a Stratum 2 server, we are trying to ensure upgrading its status to a Stratum 1 server. Hopefully, we will soon get a few more servers across India.
