home of xntpd (looks like it's now ntpd?).  Download it, compile and install
it (I've never had a problem compiling it), get confused by the directions
and the tremendous amount fo detail it goes into, and then just set up a
simple /etc/ntp.conf file like this one.  You can do neat-o things like
authentication and stuff if you wanna read the docs.  Essentially, you make
one machine a server for the rest of your network by syncing it with some
off-site ntp servers, such as ntp-(0,1,2).cso.uiuc.edu,
(gilbreth,harbor,molecule).ecn.purdue.edu, or anything else off of the list
linked by that page - then set all the other machines you maintain to use
your one (or 2) master(s) as their only server(s).
