XNTPD - server or client?

What are the purposes of xntpd and xntpdc - server and client, presumably. However, I wish to have my linux boxes automatically synchronize to a time server on my lan so I assume they will be clients. The xntpd start up script in inet.d (Redhat-6.2) only runs xntpd (and ntpdate).

Also, I don't see any man pages for xntpd, xntpdc nor ntpdate (even though all of them are installed).

And how do I know, or set, how frequently a client checks with the server and updates?
