Hi Tom--

Just skimmed over this very quickly.  A few comments...

1.  I can't find anyplace where you've actually expanded "NTP" into 
"Network Time Protocol"...that might be helpful for people who have 
never heard of NTP before.

2.  I would mark up the first word in the "temporary Internet
connection" section as &man.ntpd.8; instead of <command>ntpd</command>.

3.  I would mark up the variables in /etc/rc.conf with <varname></varname>
instead of <literal></literal>.

4.  Maybe you could mention something about using &man.ntpdate.8; to
step a host's clock into coarse synchronization first, for example via
ndpdate_enable in /etc/rc.conf.

Overall, nice job!

Bruce.
