You need your ntp server to run a master timed which knows that the local
clock is correct (due to the NTP synchronisation) and that refuses to
believe any of the slave timed's.  Ask archie about ntp-timed.patch,
or grab hippo.ru.ac.za:/pub/network/timed+ntp.tar.Z, which is a timed
that has the patch already applied.
