To OpenNTPD developers,
You use pool.ntp.org in the default configuration of the OpenNTPD
daemon since 2004, but that is not compliant with the web page of
the pool.ntp.org project designated to software vendors and operating
system vendors, http://www.pool.ntp.org/en/vendors.html :
> You must absolutely not use the default pool.ntp.org zone names as
> the default configuration in your application or appliance.
> You can choose either to implement a full ntpd server or a simpler
> SNTP implementation. A few more pointers and ground-rules:
> * Only use the pool.ntp.org hostnames designated to you
> (typically {0,1,2,3}.{vendor}.pool.ntp.org)
> Open Source projects are of course particularly welcome to use the
> pool in their default setup, but we ask that you get a vendor zone
> when using the pool as a default configuration.
In addition, the URL you use in comment corresponds to the public
support services website of the NTP Project which "produces a reference
implementation of the NTP protocol" and not to the pool.ntp.org
project which maintain the DNS records used by softwares, OpenNTPD,
the NTP Project's daemon, and others.
The main page of www.pool.ntp.org (or maybe the "How do I use the
pool.ntp.org?") seems to be more helpful to users to understand the NTP
pool and to configure continental zone or country zone in their daemon.
