hello all.

i've been looking at freebsd-isp from teh other side of a ms dos based uucp 
link fro many years, but recently our telco released a package i could afford 
to purchase and here i am 24x7 ppp connected to teh internet at large.

anyway, my question is to do with keeping a couple of machines internal "time 
of day" clocks in sync. i've looked up ntp .. awe inspiring reading that man
page. a few people suggested xntpd.

i've setup. teh 'really complicated' .. grin, config file, but don't know what 
sort of time server to use and or if a stratum 1 would send around teh goons 
to 'warn' a small network connecting and taking teh place of another more 
suitable connectee, etc. etc.

also, once teh principle time server for teh local ethernet is established, it 
should be a simple matter of using timed to keep teh rest synchronised and in 
teh proper relationship to the primary server.

any sugesstions, thoughts would be of interest

regards and thanks in advance

jonathan
