  I've gotten off the net a version xntp for the Sun and it
  seems to be a lot more than I need.  All I want to do is
  sync time on about 15 nodes.  The time doesn't have to be
  very accurate, all the nodes just need to be within a
  second or so.

What I do here is run xntpd on a few select machines, then the rest of them
sync off those by using ntpdate run from cron every few hours.
