You can find the NTP documentation in the directory /usr/share/doc/ntp-XXXXXX where XXXXXX is the version of ntpd. The ntpd daemon may be used not only for syncronization of itself with other NTP server(s) but also may be used as a time source for the clients. You can use the following configuration lines in your NTP configuration file (/etc/ntp.conf): server <server name or IP address> This line (which could be repeated as needed in the case of multiple NTP time sources for your server) tells the ntpd daemon to use the server named on this line as a time source for your NTP server. For your clients which should get the time from your server you could add the following string (which also could be repeated as needed): restrict <address of network where cliwnts reside> mask <netmask of network with clients> notrust nomodify notrap noquery This line allows your clients to request time from your server and prohibiths other types of NTP requests from them (e.g. clients can not be used as time sources for your server.
