    Hi!

    man ntpd and ntp.conf

    there also is a section in the freebsd handbook, describing how to setup
    a ntp server.

    This is what you basically want, and what is in widespread use.

    Its simple, even I managed it within a few minutes.
    The only thing is to respect some niceness to the operators of public
    ntp servers, and only sync from stratum 2 or higher numbers...

    Or, if you only have a local client, that does not want to distribute
    his time to other servers, you simply need to type as root:

    ntpdate ntp.domain.tld

    thats all, and can be run via cron

    HTH
