I use the standard configuration for xntpd, and it just works fine. I
just added the "server" lines for the ntp server names (add your ntp
servers there)
--snip--
# /etc/ntp.conf, configuration for xntpd
logfile /var/log/xntpd
driftfile /var/lib/ntp/ntp.drift
statsdir /var/log/ntpstats/
statistics loopstats peerstats clockstats
filegen loopstats file loopstats type day enable
filegen peerstats file peerstats type day enable
filegen clockstats file clockstats type day enable
server ntp0
server ntp1
server ntp2
server ntp3
