Thanks for the pointer, Florin. I'll bookmark that! It looks very
comprehensive, and yet not a single example of a working minimum
ntp.conf file is given.
Cheers,

Its not rocket science!
Indeed not.
server time.mumble.com
server teaparty.org
server ....
server ....
Select four, five, or seven public NTP servers (or private servers to
which you have access) and list them in your ntp.conf file in the format
illustrated above. Ideally, the servers should be near to you in "net
space"; e.g. they should have short round trip times.
Anything more is largely window dressing! If you deviate from this
simple format, you should know what you are doing and why.
The point is, Richard, having all the information in one place, that's
all.
Cheers,
David
