In /etc/ntpd.conf, the default is to uses constraints from "https://www.google.com". Can the default be changed to "https://gentoo.org" as to avoid pinging some GAFAM each time it is updating? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge =net-misc/openntpd-6.2_p3-r2 2. optionally dispatch-conf 3. grep google /etc/ntpd.conf Actual Results: Yield some match Expected Results: Yield no match
I think the infrastructure behind www.google.com is a bit more extensive than that of www.gentoo.org, which is why openbsd uses it as a default. No matter where in the world you are you're likely to have a short hop to a reliable google farm. It's a default, you can always change it. I'm not sure what you're talking about regarding it switching back to google on every upgrade? The config file should be under CONFIG_PROTECT purview, it won't be overwritten unless you do it yourself...
Isn't Google banned in China?
Hum, it seems that now constraints with google are commented by default. https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/commit/beea04c481c315ecfe368a9fb70c0eddf5ab6805 No GAFAM anymore without user interaction, that's good. Closing this.
