Under redhat, it simple:

/etc/ntp.conf

Add your time sources (what ntp calls stratum)
server ns.nts.umn.edu
server nss.nts.umn.edu
server navobs1.wustl.edu
server 137.192.2.5
server 137.192.240.5

Please note, you need to ask permission to use the above listed ntp servers.
This is the list of servers to query for time sources.

/etc/ntp/step-tickers

ns.nts.umn.edu
nss.nts.umn.edu
navobs1.wustl.edu
137.192.2.5
137.192.240.5

These are the hosts to query on boot to get the average time and synchronize
your clock to.
