    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

In the latter example, which actually make some sense, you can indeed do this at the us level using a good OS and a GPS-based stratum 0 reference clock directly connected to each server. ... You _might_ be able to do it with windows by using a dedicated FreeBSD machine as your GPS-hosting NTP server, and then use the network to query the server on every timestamp, i.e. use the ntp server time instead of the application server time for all log file time stamps. ... This would allow you to write the T2 ntp timestamp to the log file, which means that the actual ordering of events would be based on when the ntp server received the time query, not on whatever the local server time happened to be when the application asked for that timestamp. ...
