If CA has access to the internet, then you would configure it to obtain the time from an ntp server. If you are blocking access to the internet on your client machine (IP 192.168.1.50), then you would need to ensure that CA is communicating to the Internet on eth0 and communicating to the client on eth1.

If both machines have access to the Internet, you simply configure both of them as ntp clients.

Generally, you configure your own ntp server if you are providing ntp services to your own private subnet which
has no access to the Internet.

A good, brief explanation (with some grammatical and spelling errors) of this is given in this document: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/rhel-fedora-centos-configure-ntp-client-server/

Hi!!!
I have been trying to configure GT on two Fedora 9 nodes. I have been able to setup and run GT on CA. Now I have also installed GT on the second node. but now I need to setup the security of the second node. For this two machines should agree on time. I have tried configuring the NTP service on both the machines but still the synchronization with my server (ie CA ) in this case fails. I have shut down the firewall of both the systems but still it does not work. I am attaching the conf file of both the server and client. My CA ip is 192.168.1.40
My client IP is 192.168.1.50
