Try:
server 127.127.1.0              # Local clock, unit 0
fudge 127.127.1.0 stratum 10

It would probably be a lot easier and consume far fewer resources to use rdate in a cron job.


That depends on what level of phase and freqeuncy error are tolerable.

With an unsynchronized local clock as a server, how much could he care about phase and/or frequency error? Ntpd can hold a client in really tight synchronization (100 usec or better) IF (big IF) it has a stable reference; e.g. a server synchronized to a GPS reference can synchronize clients within a few microseconds. I've never had reason to try to synchronize to an unsynchronized local clock but I would not expect frequency or phase error levels to brag about.
