ntp package. Client by default?

[Alberto Fuentes <alberto.fuentes@qindel.com>]

I think /usr/share/doc/ntp/README.Debian.gz is bad worded. Correct me if 
im wrong but it says "[...]The default ntp.conf file is set up for an 
NTP "client" that [...]" "[...]Extra configuration work will be 
necessary to offer time service to other hosts. [...]"

By default, it works as a server not just as a client. Also I think by 
default it should not act as a server as is superseeding ntpdate, and 
the most regular use case is to install ntp is to keep in sync the time 
of your local computer.

Am i missing something?

greets!
