I use the following: server first_nearby_stratum2_server server second_nearby_stratum2_server server third_nearby_stratum2_server fudge 127.127.1.1 stratum 4 driftfile /etc/ntp.drift ie. I run at stratum 3 using upto three level 2 servers If I can't talk to any (ie link to internet broken) I use my local clock at level 4. This will keep all the machines I serve in sync, if not accurate. Use a driftfile to allow xntpd to resync quickly after reboots. If all/the majority of machines on a single subnet will sync to this machine you may want to add a broadcast line. For a list of publicly available stratum 1 and 2 servers see http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/servers.html Ashleyb ----------
