Andy,
   After reading a bit about the ntp.conf file I think this is an
acceptable configuration. It is pretty much the default Debian file with
many comments removed.

Any comments?

# /etc/ntp.conf, configuration for ntpd

driftfile /var/lib/ntp/ntp.drift
statsdir /var/log/ntpstats/

statistics loopstats peerstats clockstats
filegen loopstats file loopstats type day enable
filegen peerstats file peerstats type day enable
filegen clockstats file clockstats type day enable


# By default, exchange time with everybody, but don't allow
configuration.
# See /usr/share/doc/ntp-doc/html/accopt.html for details.
restrict -4 default kod notrap nomodify nopeer noquery
restrict -6 default kod notrap nomodify nopeer noquery

# Local users may interrogate the ntp server more closely.
restrict 127.0.0.1
restrict ::1

# You do need to talk to an NTP server or two (or three).
#server ntp.your-provider.example
