You must have a setting for that, as the docs say that ntpd needs 3 peers minimum.
I think you may want to re-read that doc. It is perfectly reasonable to have only one source, why shouldn't it be?
I think not, because there is no checking if that clock is correct. No redundancy. I mean, the clients can not know if that single clock is correct.
Our NTP setup instructions (worked out long ago) say:
a) remove default servers b) add "multicastclient ff05::101" c) update key.
A test system I recently dup'ed to Leap 15.1:
office31:~ # ntpq -pn remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter ============================================================================== 127.127.1.0 .LOCL. 10 l 352d 64 0 0.000 0.000 0.000 *192.168.2.254 .DCFa. 1 u 42 1024 377 0.279 -2.159 1.543 +fe80::202:a5ff: 192.168.2.254 2 b 5 16 377 24.836 8.207 0.007 stratum 1? Wow.
This is how my desktop sees my server: - -Isengard.valino 194.80.*.* 2 u 138 1024 177 0.330 1.920 0.962 but it prefers an external reference: *85.199.*.* .GPS. 1 u 55 64 377 42.500 -0.859 0.163 That may be an important difference, my local server is stratum 2, yours is 1. I don't actually care, even 3 would be good enough. I don't know why I have a stratum 1 reference in the pool. No reverse IP, network is Colocker-Data-Centre, GB. There is an actual physical address in "whois", but I'm not printing it here. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
