Back in the annals of time (well, around 5 years ago, at least) I used to
use a time app that would take a list of time servers, query each one in
turn, and then work out the best time from the average and set the clock
accordingly. If anyone anywhere can remember what this might have been
called I'd love to use it again. I think it came with a Slackware
distribution at the time...
This of course until I get my radio clock working, but if I'd been holding
my breath I'd have suffocated long ago..

NTP will still do what you want. You simply declare that the
server you're pointing to is a stratum 1 and you are gold. Of
course, NTP has it's own baggage, so you might want something
a bit lighter weight....
You might also want to look at the lightweight rdate protocol.
I've got the following line in root's crontab on all my (non-Linus)
machines:
* 0 * * * /usr/bin/rdate -s linus
where I'm simply saying "Everyone use Linus's clock". That's
exactly what you wanted to do....

Hello group
I was hoping to set up a Linux box to act as a time server. I have looked
into NTP and in.timed.
It seems NTP has to be linked up with ether a radio, time server or GPS to
function and in.timed has to little instruction to be of any use. All I
would like to do is set a server and have other host sync up time with it.
It doesn't need to synchronized with the worlds atomic clock. If any one
knows of a decent time service that I can load up on a linux box please
point me to it.
TIA
Chris N.
