I am a bit bewildered by the following section in /etc/rc.conf:

timed_enable="NO"               # Run the time daemon (or NO).
timed_flags=""                  # Flags to timed (if enabled).
ntpdate_enable="NO"             # Run the ntpdate to sync time (or NO).
ntpdate_program="ntpdate"       # path to ntpdate, if you want a different one.
ntpdate_flags=""                # Flags to ntpdate (if enabled).
xntpd_enable="NO"               # Run xntpd Network Time Protocol (or NO).
xntpd_program="xntpd"           # path to xntpd, if you want a different one.
xntpd_flags="-p /var/run/xntpd.pid"     # Flags to xntpd (if enabled).
tickadj_enable="NO"             # Run tickadj (or NO).
tickadj_flags="-Aq"             # Flags to tickadj (if enabled).

If I wish to use NTP to synchronize my system clock, and serve NTP so
the other machine on my network can synch to that, which of these do I
enable?  More generally, are these options mutually exclusive, or do
they work together?  Also, does anyone know a good NTP source on the
east coast of the U.S.?  Thanks in advance.
