NTP configuration

Lorenzo Meneguzzi — Tue, 03 Feb 2004 09:31:57 GMT

Hi experts,
the architecture I'm dealing with consists of one cluster of 2 UNIX servers (11.11) and several PCs (W2000 server and XP pro).
I'm planning to use NTP to synchronise the time between these computers.
The computers are not connected to the internet (just on a local area) so I was thinking to use the time of the cluster as a reference.
Is there a simply way to do that ? (because what I've seen, seems to be complicate for what I want to do ?)
Using Sam ? Which options (braodcasting or Network time source) ?
Thanks for your help.

This is pretty simple, you really don't need sam for it.

I'm attaching my ntp.conf file which connects to firewall that also acts as an internal time server.
