Do NOT use timed unless you really really are hurting badly...

xntpd is part of the base system and works a lot better.  You can find
a server on the Internet to be a client of, and then make all your
"local" machines peers.  If you are not connected, you can just make all
your "local" machines peers.  I think the documentation is helpful enough
but if you have problems, drop a note and I'll draw up a sample config.
