How can I set ntp Linux client to retrieve time from my ntp internal
service ?

By ntpd service in /etc/init.d or by inserting 'ntpd' in crontab ?

You had better tell us what this means. What is "my ntp internal
service"? What ntp client.

The prefered way is to run the ntpd daemon ( and init.d is a good place
to start it).

I suspect he means the intranet NTP server, which, unfortunately may be 
w32time configured so as not to be an NTP server (i.e. out of the box).

ntpd as a service


ntp.conf e.g.:

tos cohort 1 orphan 11

restrict source

server ntp.alice.it iburst prefer

# pool it.pool.ntp.org iburst
# pool europe.pool.ntp.org iburst

 Some flavor of BSDi on VM in an appliance?
 It appears to have NTPd 4.1.2 ?

This is as bad as defining the local clock in stock configurations.  Any 
configuration that does fall back to stratum 16 should only be used as 
an informed decision, and never on a pure leaf node.
