Install and run ntp (/usr/ports/net/ntp).
Then edit /etc/ntp.conf , mine is:
server ntp2.usno.navy.mil
server tock.usno.navy.mil
server tick.usno.navy.mil
server ntp.colby.edu
server navobs1.oar.net
server gnomon.cc.columbia.edu
server tick.gatech.edu
server ntp0.mcs.anl.gov
driftfile /var/db/ntp.drift
restrict default notrust nomodify
restrict 127.0.0.1
restrict <net number> mask <net mask>
NB: Correct net number and net mask with yours!
Start your ntpd daemon in startup scripts, per example:
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/ntpd.sh
#!/bin/sh
case "x$1" in
x)
xstart)
/usr/sbin/ntpd -p /var/run/ntpd.pid
;;
xstop)
/bin/kill -9 `/bin/cat /var/run/ntpd.pid`
;;
*)
echo "Usage: `basename $0` {start|stop}" >&2
;;
esac
Your clients may use /usr/sbin/ntpdate -b -p 8 -u -s <server ip>
To sync with your local time server.

set one machine to sync from outside stratum 2 servers, and the rest
of your network to sync from that machine. you'll be running ntpd
everywhere.
see /usr/share/doc/ntp/ and http://www.ntp.org/
