This is a FreeBSD documentation and FreeBSD comes with a pretty good default ntp.conf, much like several of you have suggested. You can find it at:http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/etc/ntp.conf?rev=1.2.2.1.4.1;content-type=text%2Fx-cvsweb-markup It has mostly comments with just a set of 3 (yeah, I know) pool systems. -- R.
