Oops!
Configure the client by including this line in /etc/ntp.conf:
server myserver.mydomain.net
And make sure there are no other "server" lines in that file, pointing
to servers that cannot be reached (such as 0.debian.pool.ntp.org)
Actually, /etc/ntp.conf is pretty well commented, and not especially
long. You should take a look at it.
