Hi,
i was trying to configure my ntpd server and was successful in that. My 
configurations was that my ntpd server got itself updated from internet and 
after that it broadcasted the time in local network as a result all local 
machines updated their times accordingly. I was successful in this attempt, 
but now i need a setup in which i do not want to update my ntpd servers time 
from internet instead i just want to set a time on ntpd server manually and 
all machines on my local network get themselves updated. I tried various 
configs but was unable to do so.

Thanks

The following config i used to update myself from internet and then 
broadcasting on local network 

server 209.132.176.4 <http://209.132.176.4>
server 209.132.176.4 <http://209.132.176.4>

driftfile /etc/ntp/ntp.drift
broadcast 192.168.1.255 <http://192.168.1.255>

logfile /var/log/ntp.log
