citando configuração básica do ntp tldp :
The most basic ntp.conf file will simply list 2 servers, one that it wishes to synchronize with, and a pseudo IP address for itself (in this case 127.127.1.0). The pseudo IP is used in case of network problems or if the remote NTP server goes down. NTP will synchronize against itself until the it can start synchronizing with the remote server again. It is recommended that you list at least 2 remote servers that you can synchronize against. One will act as a primary server and the other as a backup.
citando o relógio de referência ntp-faq
The LCL is no reference clock in reality; instead it simply refers to the system time on the current machine. Therefore it should never be used, except when the system time is synchronized by some means not visible by xntpd.
On an isolated network one might set the time manually from time to time. Together with a frequency adjustment available as a fudge factor (see the driver's documentation) one may achieve an accuracy of a few seconds per week.
