[Bug 477795] [NEW] Please remove obsolete ntp servers from gnome time applet

[MechaMechanism]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ntp

Several obsolete time servers are listed in the gnome time applet and
ntpd as a result will say ntpd_initres[18862]: host name not found:
clock.tricity.wsu.edu and ntpd_initres[18862]: couldn't resolve
`clock.tricity.wsu.edu', giving up on it.

The full list below is listed here at http://www.ntp.isc.org/bin/view/Servers/DiscontinuedStratumTwoTimeServers
clock.tricity.wsu.edu
constellation.ecn.uoknor.edu
libra.rice.edu
ntp.cmr.gov
ntp.landau.ac.ru


the server ntp.cox.smu.edu is listed here as obsolete.

These servers are listed here at http://lists.ntp.isc.org/pipermail/hackers/2003-June/000023.html scroll to the bottom.
ntp.mel.nml.csiro.au
ntp.per.nml.csiro.au
ntp.nml.csiro.au


This server ntp.shim.org I cant find any info listing it as obsolete.  But dns still can't find it.

Please remove these servers as they are useless and unless someone checks daemon.log might not know that they don't work and they also create an undue burden on network traffic.  Thank you.
