1.  Create /etc/ntp.conf:

server ntp.adelaide.edu.au
driftfile /etc/ntp.drift

2.  Enable xntpd in /etc/rc.conf.

3.  Set the xntpd flags to `-c /etc/ntp.conf'.

4.  On the next reboot you'll be syncing clocks automatically.

You'll have to set up server mode, see xntpd(8).  It's a matter of running
one command that could go in the config file.
