NTP is probably overkill for my purposes but nonetheless I use it.  We poll
a reliable source from our NTP master once per day to set its clock.  The
resolution of the reliable source is 1 second.  Our master tends to get 
ahead of Mr. Reliable by about 1 second per day.  Is there a tuneable 
parameter some where, along the lines of ntpd.drift, for the master host?
I would like to be able to stabilize my local master so that it is less
likely to run ahead of the source clock.
