In /etc/ntp.conf put the following line:
server <ip address of stratum server>
So for Bryan, /etc/ntp.conf looks like:
server 129.127.40.3
and for you (Steven):
server 158.43.128.66
This will sync one your time server to a Stratum server. You can sync
other
machines off your server. There are other options you can add to the
file for logging, if you want, although there isn't much useful
information gained from logging other than you time server is working.
(Yes, ntp uses port 123)
