The Handbook doesn't currently contain any information on how to use
NTP to synchronise a computer's clock.

I've put together some information which I hope can be incorporated
into the "Advanced Networking" section, and I'd appreciate feedback
before I commit anything.

The Docbook source is at http://people.FreeBSD.org/~tom/tmp/ntp.sgml

Specifically, I'd like to know:
- Is the Docbook formatting okay?  This is the first time I've marked
  up more than a paragraph in Docbook at once.
- Is the English okay?  I've written in British English all my life,
  but I know the Handbook needs to be Americanized. ;-)
- Is what I've written technically accurate.  I'm pretty certain it
  is, but I'd appreciate feedback from NTP experts.
- Is there any particular place in the "Advanced Networking" section
  this should be placed?  Is that the right section?
- Have I missed anything out, or explained anything badly?

Thanks,
Tom
