+README file for directory ./conf of the NTP Version 4 distribution
+
+This directory contains example run-time configuration files for the
+NTP Version 4 daemon ntpd. These files illustrate some of the more
+obtuse configurations you may run into. They are not likely to do
+anything good if run on machines other than their native spot, so don't
+just blindly copy something and put it up. Additional information can
+be found in the ./doc directory of the base directory.
+
+See the Config.local.dist file in the base directory for an explanation
+of the defines used.
+
+The files Config.* are used to generate fullblown binaries suitable for
+distribution with the systems shown as suffix. While this can result
+in some degree of useless code, the degree is small compared to the
+size of the baseline code. The files *.conf are representative NTP
+run-time configuration files, which normally live in /etc/ntp.conf.
