This is a FreeBSD documentation and FreeBSD comes with a pretty good
default ntp.conf, much like several of you have suggested.

You can find it
at:http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/etc/ntp.conf?rev=1.2.2.1.4.1;content-type=text%2Fx-cvsweb-markup

It has mostly comments with just a set of 3 (yeah, I know) pool systems.

Kevin,

Yes, I must have edited a file like that when I set up my own FreeBSD system. I would take issue with:

- no drift file appears to be specified (although it is mentioned) - I had:

 driftfile /var/db/ntp.drift

- why add maxpoll 9 to all the servers? That seems wrong. I see the note: "The option `maxpoll 9' is used to prevent PLL/FLL flipping on FreeBSD.". So is that a FreeBSD specific issue, and if so, why not fix it in the OS?

Cheers,
David
