Here's a working example of an /etc/ntp.conf file
server tick.utoronto.ca
server tock.utoronto.ca
server chime.utoronto.ca
server 127.127.1.0
fudge 127.127.1.0 stratum 10
driftfile /etc/ntp/drift
authenticate no
xntpd will try to access the three real time servers. It is good practice
to use more than one and xntpd will compare all and calculate the time
using input form them all.
The local server 127.127.1.0 is a default for xntpd if it can't reach the
real ones. The fudge line tell xntpd that this is a stratum 10 time
server (the lowest level choice possible) and to ignore this unless
nothing else is available.
You should not try to use stratum 1 servers. It is also polite to send an
email to the server's administrator you intend to use so he knows who
you are. Not all time servers are open to the public. Make sure you
check the list first for public ones.
