We did that, but the pi's don't have access to the internet, we want them to get the date/time from a network server.
Should be able to set local NTP In /etc/ntpd.conf

I've seen answers about editing the etc/ntpd.conf file or the ntp.conf file, but neither exist on the pi. Is there something I should install first?
