I found a similar article myself (I don't remember the URL though). I have had it running for quite some time (well -- a week or so). I didn't see that it recommends you use more than one server to sychronize with. I am currently using 4 public servers. That looks like a pretty decent article. It, like the rest, fail to inform you how to run your new server as a time server for the rest of your network. I can ntptrace ot it on the local machine, but it won't respond to other clients on my LAN.

Symlinking it to my city in /usr/share/zoneinfo/etc/etc works great in combination with the processes described in the above article. -- Dominic Marks Don't talk to me about Naval tradition.
