Network Time Protocol (NTP) Server and Clients Setup in Ubuntu

[ Thanks to dave for this link. ]

"You need to add a number of servers to the server list. The Debian default is pool.ntp.org which works but isn’t always amazingly accurate because it makes no attempt to use time servers near you. If you want more accuracy use the time servers either on your continent (for instance europe.pool.ntp.org) or your country (for instance uk.pool.ntp.org) one of your local country servers.The optimal number of servers to listen to is three but two will also give a good accuracy. If your ISP runs a time server for you it is worth including it in your server list as it will often be more accurate than the pooled servers and will help keep the load down on the pool."
