You don't need the daemon if all you want is to "copy" the time from your Windows 2003 server to your box. Edit your crontab to frequently run the following command: ntpdate -bs $IP (where $IP is the IP of your Windows box) You'll see the ntpdate command generate records in the syslog indicating how much the local clock had been adjusted.
