Setting up an NTP-server is fairly simple. First install the package:

yum install ntp

Then edit the /etc/ntp.conf to something like this (you can use other servers if you lke):

restrict 192.168.1.0 mask 255.255.255.0 nomodify notrap

server chime1.surfnet.nl dynamic
server chime2.surfnet.nl dynamic
server chime3.surfnet.nl dynamic
server chime4.surfnet.nl dynamic
server chime5.surfnet.nl dynamic
server chime6.surfnet.nl dynamic
server ntp.utwente.nl dynamic

Open in your firewall port 123 (UDP) and start your server:

chkconfig ntpd on
service ntpd start

That's it.

Erik.
