Thanks, to all who replied, a special thanks to Darren Dunham whose reply 
got ntp working see, his reply below. I followed his suggestions for the 
ntp.conf files, stopped and started ntp on the server (bigcrow), and on 
the client (magpie) I did a "ntpdate -vb bigcrow" to sync the time, then 
started ntp on the client (magpie).

REPLY BELOW:

There's a FAQ at http://www.ntp.org.

All NTP machines must be clients of something, so you just want to use
the local clock on bigcrow it sounds like...

bigcrow ntp.conf

driftfile /etc/ntp.drift  # Could be used in the future
server 127.127.1.0  # local clock
fudge 127.127.1.0 stratum 10 # make sure the clock doesn't look good.

magpie ntp.conf

driftfile /etc/ntp.drift   # keep long-term state on disk.
server bigcrow

Could someone please tell me how to setup the ntp.conf files for both a 
server (bigcrow 162.36.233.24)  and a client (magpie 162.36.233.23) in a 
closed network..I've read all I could find and tried all kinds of 
different configurations still can't seem to get it to work. The clocking 
will be from the server.

        Thanks,

                Doug
