Can't blame a guy for trying!

Anyway, here's my /etc/ntp.conf file

server tock.cs.unlv.edu
server black-ice.cc.vt.edu
server clock.psu.edu
server eagle.tamu.edu
server harbor.ecn.purdue.edu
server smart1.svi.org
server timeserver.cs.umb.edu
server heechee.esa.lanl.gov
server ntp.css.gov
keys /etc/ntp.keys
trustedkey 1
requestkey 1
controlkey 1
authenticate yes

(You don't really need all the xxxkey stuff unless you're paranoid _and_
you're running xntpd to keep time set...)
