I prefer to have one machine (generally something with a server class motherboard since those seem to have better clocks) running ntpd(8) and it also serving as the local timed(8) master ("-F localhost -M"). It may very well be noisier than just serving out ntp to the local network, what with talk about elections and such every 4 minutes, but generally everything is kept within 0.050 seconds (and running ntpd on all of the local machines feels like serious overkill). -- --
