How to configure a Windows Server 2003 to be an NTP time server ?

I know that all members of a domain get their time synced from their DCs etc.

However, I have server X that is NOT part of my domain (the server is an a
workgroup, behind the firewall). I can not point this server to my domain DCs
for time sync because of the security reasons.
I could point this isolated server to another general purpose member server
Y in my domain.
However, I need to configure this domain member server Y to be an NTP time
server.

The question is how ?

TIA

Thank you Dave and Andrew!

Unfortunately, my time sync still does not work.

Perhaps my server X is not part of the domain (i.e. it's behind the plant
firewall).
I assume there might be a domain authentication issue (i.e. no trust).
