That is only if you have an external time device hooked directly to your
PC.  This is the only section you should have to change:

##
## Outside source of synchronized time
##
## server xx.xx.xx.xx           # IP address of server

Check out http://www.ntp.org for time servers closest to you.

Best Regards,
