[09-04-04 08:05]: I did what that page says http://archive.lug.boulder.co.us/bymonth/2003.12/msg00040.html
The same as yours.
But i cannot see any ntp.drift in my /var/lib/ntp/drift/ntp.drift
Do you know why?
Possibly. AIUI, you only get an entry in ntp.drift when ntpd polls the master. See what entries you have in the log file: tail /var/log/ntp
ie:
