It also occurs to me that the OP having selected a stratum 1 server, he could be rejected service sometimes. I am pretty sure the two servers in his log fragment are both open -- the one at NIST certainly is; I have used it in the past.
Ok, but it is a fact that he gets the "no servers reachable" message now and then. I wouldn't hurt to define more servers.
For Byte: what is the output of "adjtimex -p"?
That would be very interesting, good idea. It could perhaps be used later to keep the clock on his toes. I am not thinking of using adjtimex to adjust the clock, and indeed it should not be so used when ntpd is running.
No simultaneously, of course. I said "later". Check what the command says, and perhaps, use it manually to slow the system clock to a reasonable value.
However, with the -p parameter, adjtimex prints the kernel time parameters, including the value of "tick". If there is an easily resolved problem here, the value of "tick" is the first place to look.
I know. He also could try erasing /var/lib/ntp/drift/ntp.drift first before starting ntpd again. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
