Thanks Brian for your input. I have the localhost line in there as that is
what I got from examples (127.127.1.0) but will take them out as I don't
know what they are doing.
And I already took out the 'notrust' statement so that is ok now.
I also changed my servers so things are in better shape now since I made
these changes.
It all takes a bit to get things going but I think I am in better shape
now thanbefore. But thanks again for you input..

Well I finally got ntpd installed and I have it running.
Here is what I have in my ntp.conf file:
-------------
restrict default noquery notrust nomodify
restrict 127.0.0.1
restrict 24.224.176.0 mask 255.255.248.0
fudge 127.127.1.0 stratum 3
server 127.127.1.0
server 0 pool.ntp.org
server 1 pool.ntp.org
server 2 pool.ntp.org
server pool.ntp.org
driftfile /etc/ntp.drift
logfile /var/log/ntp.log
------------------
And I am not sure that is all correct or if there istoo much in there etc..
As well - I have no idea that ntp(d) is working? How can I tell and if it
is how does it change the system time or the hardware time??
This looks quite wrong to me. First, why do you need to configure
the LOCAL clock, i.e. the 127.127.1.0 lines? If you don't really
understand why you need them, then get rid of them.
Next, the first 3 pool lines look wrong. I don't know of a syntax
that has a single digit number following the server keyword. Was
there supposed to be a dot between the number and "pool"?
Next, with the restrictions you have here, you will not trust any
unauthenticated server unless it is on the 24.224.176.0 network.
Unless you have your own local definitions for pool.ntp.org, they
are all unauthenticated servers that are not on that network, and
will not be trusted and thus not usable.
It is an unfortunate fact of life at the moment that there is no
way to specify restrict lines that refer to the pool servers. It
is planned to add such a feature, but it isn't there yet, as far
as I know.
Hope that helps.
