It would also be a good idea to keep a driftfile so you don't have to
re-establish your clock's drift every time xntpd starts.  I also use a
pid file.  Something like:

	server IP-address-1
	server IP-address-2
	server IP-address-3

	driftfile /var/db/ntp.drift
	pidfile /var/run/xntpd.pid

Should do the trick.
