[SBE] Question about NTP Servers?

[Michael Liebman]

There are plenty of free NTP servers out there. The best one is
probably the Meinberg port (http://www.meinberg.de/english/sw/ntp.htm)
of the reference/unix implementation (http://www.ntp.org).

The installer gives you the option of adding other servers to
synchronize to and adding the local clock as a "last resort". You will
actually want to skip the external servers or flip the order in the
configuration file.
