What I want to do is have one machine, call it host0, sync to a public ntp server and have the other four machines, host{1,2,3,4} sync to the local xntpd server. I have read the xntpd(8) and searched the archives but can't get it. On host0 I have the following in '/etc/ntp.conf': server black-ice.cc.vt.edu driftfile /etc/ntp.drift fudge 127.127.1.1 stratum 4 After starting xntpd on host0 I tried 'ntpdate -q host0' on the other machines. I get a message that host0 is stratum 16, followed by a 'no host suitable for synchronization message'. Why is host0 stratum 16? I did an ntpdate to the public server prior to starting xntpd to get the time right at the start. I have had xntpd running for several hours now and the driftfile that was created has the following contents: 0.000 0 That does not seem right. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?
