Actually no - I changed the time with the date command and about 10 mins
later when everything was declared stable, it stepped back into time.
Note that this was reported in syslog, but the constant (and reassuring)
stream of messages in syslog that I had in Mandrake 7.2 are not reported
now.

My server ntp.conf, I have a fancier one on my laptop but thats at work
at the moment! I am also using a firewall so I turned auth off to make
it simple.

If you have changed the local clock server settings, that is a possible
cause. Note that it is "10", which allows slave servers to still sync
to the master - otherwise when it declares itself unlocked, it defaults
to 16 and slaves then ignore it - personally I think slaves should also
have this setting (i.e., local set to >16 and < 10) to create a
hierarchy. A thought, your master ntp server can talk through the
firewall? Perhaps if you post the results of the "peers" command in
"ntpq" forthe master and a slave?
