After all these years I still can not get used to the non-standard NANOG response to "reply". I wonder if there is a way for ne to fix that locally. On 2/6/2014 8:49 AM, Larry Sheldon wrote:

I'm trying to help a company I work for to pass an audit, and we've been told we need trusted NTP sources (RedHat doesn't cut it).

So presuming that your company is using RH or Fedora or CentOS something, the auditors are claiming that Red Hat, Inc is trusted enough to provide a precompiled based operating system with no feasible means of proving its reliability, but that they're not trustworthy enough to provide a clock synchronisation service?

My head spins.

Get new auditors. Your current ones are stupid.

It has been a while since I have done anything with NTP, but I would start with ntp.org (which didn't exist when I WAS working with it) which I am led to believe has the stuff that used to be at U. Delaware, like the public servers lists:
