Thanks Bob. When I do an ntpdate I get that error about "no suitable server
configuration found", so I assume I've still not configured something right?
There's an option for ntpd to ignore the time difference (-g?) which I think
Ubuntu adds by default. Not sure if this has any effect though.

Does anyone have a working server and client ntp.conf for a situation like
mine?
