You can use "peer" instead of "server" to config a peer, but for normal situations it would not be an issue. Secure peers even less. It is even possible to do the configuration from YaST. In that case you only need to enter the server IP addresses and it will modify the ntp.conf
More important is the addition of a "ulimit -l 8192" to the startup script, and to remember to add it again whenever SuSE decides to send an online update of ntpd.
