My bad on that - I used a CentOS4 machine by accident. The name may have
changed slighty but the meaning/point is the same - that file is for use
but the random redhat config tools, not by ntpd itself.
Specify your upstream servers in /etc/ntp.conf like so:
# http://twiki.ntp.org/bin/view/Servers/NTPPoolServers
server us.pool.ntp.org
server us.pool.ntp.org
server us.pool.ntp.org
# backups just in case
server ntp.ucsd.edu # (San Diego, CA)
server ntp1.maincoon.com # (Quincy, CA)
Then comment out those silly 127.127.* lines that are in there by
default. This is for your master server; then simply point all your
clients at this new master, and everything will be kosher.
