Be prepared to wait as long as ten or twelve hours to get really close
synchronization. NTP was never intended for systems running only
eight hours a day. You can be "close" in thirty minutes or less but
it takes many hours to get both close and stable. It also helps to
run your server in a controlled environment; temperature changes will
affect your clock.
If "close" is within a few tens of milliseconds, NTP can be there very
quickly with the appropriate servers and settings.
Cheers,

If your definition of "close" is used, you hardly need NTP. My PC
running Windows/XP SP3 is within a few milliseconds running nothing more
than W32TIME.
I've had a Sun Ultra 10 Workstation running Solaris keep time within
fifty microseconds or better using a GPS timing receiver and NTPD.
