Oddly enough, "ntpctl -sa" would still out= put a status of "clock synced, stratum 2". Other machines on the network using = this server as their clock source would report a stratum of 3. I would have expected openntpd to consider its clock as out of sync after s= ome timeout and notify downstream hosts accordingly. I'm not sure how this case= is intended to be handled as per the NTP protocol. I have, however, seen the ntp.org ntpd report a stratum of 16 in this case so clients further downstr= eam can detect that there is a problem.=20 I have since reconnected the affected machine and things are back to normal. Let me know if you'd like me to perform any additional tests. It appears th= at this can be easily replicated by disconnecting a single openntpd server and watching the output of "ntpctl -sa" on that machine.
