Hi guys,
I don't use virtual machine.
The 192.168.0.191 is an internal ntpd server configured by administrator,  so i can not see what  ntp server it synchronizes to or what is its time reference.
But i have added a new line "server 192.168.0.191" into file "/etc/ntp.conf" on ntpd client machines, and the output to execute command ntpstat is as follows:
synchronised to NTP server (192.168.0.191) at stratum 3
   time correct to within 80 ms
   polling server every 128 s


Is it an proper way to synchronize clock?
