I decided to install NTP. It appears the ntp.conf should probably use
ntp pools; see:

Here is what I propose:
----
Configuration Information
The following configuration file creates a drift file where *ntpd*
stores the frequency offset. It also allows assignment of three random
servers from the NTP pool. This will work, however, you will get better
results using continent or country zones. See
http://ntp.isc.org/bin/view/Servers/NTPPoolServers for instructions and
a list of zones. Those requiring extreme precision should see the links
for Secondary Servers at the above URL.
cat > /etc/ntp.conf << "EOF"
driftfile /var/cache/ntp.drift
server 0.pool.ntp.org
server 1.pool.ntp.org
server 2.pool.ntp.org
EOF
----
I'd like some feedback before committing. Wording suggestions or even
'forget the whole thing'.
