-Of course you would actually use a TextEditor to add the [NTPServers] to <tt>/etc/ntp.conf</tt>.

+ aptitude install ntp
+ /etc/init.d/ntp stop

Of course you would actually use a TextEditor to add the [NTPServers] to <tt>/etc/ntp.conf</tt>, and you would use whichever server is appropriate in place of <tt>nz.pool.ntp.org
</tt>.
The [ntpdate(8)] step is necessary only if your local clock is way off from the time server’s time, in which case the [NTP] dæmon may terminate. Note that even [ntpdate(8)] adjusts the time only gradually if within a certain time range – if you don't want that, use the <tt>-b</tt> option.
