Subject: NTPD restarted on c1dcuepics (to fix the MEDM screen times) 
restarted ntp on op440m using this syntax
>su
>/etc/init.d/xntpd start -c /etc/inet/ntp.conf

gettting the time on scipe25 (for the MEDM screen time) working was tougher. The /etc/ntp.conf file was pointing
to the wrong server. Our NAT / Firewall settings require some of our internal machines to go through the gateway
to get NTPD to work. Curiously, some of the linux workstations don't have this issue.
The internal network machines should all have the same file as scipe25's /etc/ntp.conf:

server nodus

and here's how to check that its working:

[root@c1dcuepics sbin]# ./ntpq -p
     remote           refid      st t when poll reach   delay   offset  jitter
