I actually do need ntp running on my box... I've yet to find any
decent documentation on how to set it up. Has anyone done this? I
have a couple Mac labs behind a firewall which can only access local
servers. I need a method of timesynching them (using ntp, as it's
built in to the MacOS), so I'd like to have an ntp server running on
my YDL box, plus have my YDL box synch to Apple's time server
(time.apple.com)

I can't for the life of me figure out how to set this up though...
