NTP server

[Pat Plummer]

Shawn:

It depends on your internal machines that you'd like to sync to the 
gateway box running ntpd.

If they are running ntpd, then it should be simple to set up those 
processes to poll the gateway computer. Alternatively, you could set up 
a cron process to poll the gateway computer at a specified interval 
with ntpdate. This is for linux/unix boxes, of course.

If the internal machines are Macs, then just point the Date & Time 
network time sys pref  (OSX) or control panel (< OSX) to your gateway 
box running ntpd.

If Windoze, you're on your own :) .

Should be pretty straightforward, unless I'm missing something in your 
msg.
