How about a url?

Follow the links to find a local server or two. The format of ntp.conf
is pretty simple. By way of example, here's mine:

	server	ntp.enteract.com
	server	ntp-1.cso.uiuc.edu
	server	ntp-2.cso.uiuc.edu
	driftfile	/etc/ntp.drift

You're supposed to compile a kernel with "options NTP", but it's not
strictly necessary; see options(4).

mac68k keeps terrible time, even with the NTP option. The best I can
do there is to put "ntpdate ntp" in my ip-up script.
