Hi,

I just wanted to let you know that waldo.stcloudstate.edu has been
configured to set its clock from nss.nts.umn.edu.

Thanks for the service!

Thanks for letting us know that you are using our time servers.

If you are a commercial entity, you should purchase this service from a
source that will guarantee a level of service.  The University of
Minnesota is providing a best effort service, which may move or be
eliminated at any time.

Our time clock is stratum 2, so you might be able to find a better
source.

Please also check for distance reasonability for your time source.  You
will be able to find the preferred source for time sync using the
traceroute command.
