How To Configure a Windows Based Network Time Server This article discusses how to configure the latest Windows operating systems to operate as a network time server. The article describes how to change the registry entries to configure w32time. What is Time ? This article discusses the fundamental nature of time, how it is measured, by movement, and how it is related to the concept of space. It also describes the spin-offs from high technology time references and International time standards. Using NTP Authentication This article describes how to utilise the NTP security features to authenticate time references when synchronizing network time clients to a NTP server. GPS Time Servers For Network Time Synchronisation This article discusses how GPS time server systems obtain precise timing information to provide a highly accurate timing reference for network time synchronisation. Configuring NTP on your Linux Server This article describes how to configure the Network Time Protocol (NTP) daemon on your Linux server to synchronise with an Internet based NTP server. It also provides a list of well-know public Internet time references. Debugging NTP Server Installations This article describes how to debug a NTP server installation after compilation and configuration of the distribution. GPS Timing For NTP Servers This article describes how the Global Positioning System can be used to provide a precise timing reference and provides an overview of the equipment required. NTP Server Systems and Network Timing This article describes the Network Time Protocol and provides an overview of how NTP servers utilise NTP to provide an accurate source of time to network time clients. How to Build a Stratum 1 NTP Server This article describes how to build and configure your very own stratum one NTP Server. By adding a low-cost GPS or radio time reference to your Linux machine, you can have your very own highly accurate time reference. Your NTP server can be used to synchronize all the machines on your network to the precise time. Differences Between NTP and SNTP This article describes the differences between NTP and SNTP. The article also discusses when SNTP can be safely used in place of the full-blown NTP protocol. It also outlines the differences between a NTP server\client and a SNTP server\client. Choosing a NTP Server Reference Clock This article introduces a number of external reference clock time and frequency resources that can be used for synchronising a stratum 1 NTP time server. How to Install and Configure a Windows 2003 Time Server This article describes how the Windows 2003 Time Service synchronises time and date information on servers to a domain controller. It also describes how the Windows Time Service utilises the Network Time Protocol (NTP) to achieve network time synchronisation of servers in a domain. The Misuse of NTP Time Servers This article discusses some of the reported NTP time server abuse incidents and describes NTP configuration methods that can reduce such problems. Most incidents seem to have occurred due to manufacturer configuration issues rather than malicious intent. Precise Frequency Sources for NTP Servers Many NTP servers utilise a high precision backup frequency generator to maintain time in the event of signal loss. This article describes the various precision frequency generators used by NTP servers and the price-performance issues. Implementing NTP Time Server Authentication This article describes the security aspects of the NTP protocol and specifically using MD5 keys to authenticate a time server. Time Synchronisation On Your Computer This article describes various ways of keeping the time on your computer accurate. It also shows how to synchronise a computers system clock with a highly accurate reference clock. Atomic Clock Time References This article describes available atomic clock timing references and their use in computer network time synchronisation and NTP time servers. Installing NTP on a Linux Machine This article discusses how to install and configure the NTP Server application on a Linux machine to synchronise time with an Internet based public NTP Server. Utilising GPS to Serve Accurate Computer Time This article presents an introduction to using the GPS system for computer timing applications. It describes the equipment that can be utilised to provide a precise time resource for computers and computer networks. How To Synchronise Your Computers Time to the MSF-60 Radio Time Signal This article describes how the MSF-60 time signal can be decoded and used to synchronise computers and NTP time server systems. Overview of NTP Servers and the NTP Protocol This article describes some of the features of NTP and attempts to simplify some of the terminology used. Building a Stratum 1 GPS NTP Server This article describes how to utilise a low-cost GPS receiver in combination with the NTP software distribution to provide an accurate stratum 1 NTP server timing reference. How To Set Up An Authoritative Time Server In A Windows 2003 Server based Active Directory Network This article describes the procedure to set up an Authoritative Time Server for a Windows 2003 Server based Active Directory Network. It also describes the hierarchical relationship of the time synchronisation authority. The article also presents some time synchronisation hints, tips and troubleshooting. Configuring An Authoritative Time Server On A Windows 2000 Server This article describes how to set up and configure an Authoritative Time Server in a Windows 2000 Server environment. It also discusses the hierarchical relationship at the heart of the service and provides some configuration hints and tips. Utilising Internet NTP Servers for Accurate Time This article discuses various methods of maintaining precise time on computer systems and describes how to use Internet NTP servers as accurate timing references.
