NTP will still do what you want. You simply declare that the
server you're pointing to is a stratum 1 and you are gold. Of
course, NTP has it's own baggage, so you might want something
a bit lighter weight....
You might also want to look at the lightweight rdate protocol.
I've got the following line in root's crontab on all my (non-Linus)
machines:
* 0 * * * /usr/bin/rdate -s linus
where I'm simply saying "Everyone use Linus's clock". That's
exactly what you wanted to do....

Subject: Network time server?
Hello group
I was hoping to set up a Linux box to act as a time server. I have looked
into NTP and in.timed.
It seems NTP has to be linked up with ether a radio, time server or GPS to
function and in.timed has to little instruction to be of any use. All I
would like to do is set a server and have other host sync up time with it.
It doesn't need to synchronized with the worlds atomic clock. If any one
knows of a decent time service that I can load up on a linux box please
point me to it.
TIA
Chris N.
