Many Thanks for all the responses. Now I know what to do. Even where there are no local PPS, GPS etc time sources, use either the local clock or orphan mode. Where there is only one NTP server on your LAN, it doesn't make any difference which one you use. Just configure either the local clock or the orphan mode in /etc/ntp.conf.
