This will also stop your computer from "calling home" to apple.com every day, which might be welcome if you are privacy-conscious.

ntp pool
Authored by: goatbar on Apr 02, '08 03:01:22PM
my /etc/ntp.conf looks like this to use the ntp pool... This works for people in the US
<blockquote>
server 0.us.pool.ntp.org minpoll 12 maxpoll 17
server 1.us.pool.ntp.org minpoll 12 maxpoll 17
server 2.us.pool.ntp.org minpoll 12 maxpoll 17
server 3.us.pool.ntp.org minpoll 12 maxpoll 17
server 0.north-america.pool.ntp.org minpoll 12 maxpoll 17
server 1.north-america.pool.ntp.org minpoll 12 maxpoll 17
server 2.north-america.pool.ntp.org minpoll 12 maxpoll 17
server 127.127.1.0 minpoll 12 maxpoll 17
</blockquote>
Then use this to get stats of what you are using:
<blockquote>
ntpq -p -n
</blockquote>
