	Exactly, the xntpd daemon should not require external sync source
(well, technically I think it does, but you point it at 127.0.0.1 and it
serves itself local time from CMOS (I think is how that works?)). Then you
can just use ntpdate from the other machines to sync to the master's CMOS
clock (While the master sync's itself to itself) (sounds funky but should
work). :)
