I'm using a debian sarge dist of linux on a dual opteron file server named

Ultimately I would like to have fserver to supply the time to all the other
machines on the LAN.

Currently this is the results of my /var/log/ntpd.log file. Something tells
me something is not right.

Well, through bad luck or poor design, you have servers in the Netherlands, Australia and, I think, in the US. It is highly desirable to have servers relatively close to you and these don't look as if they are close. I believe that there is a syntax for specifying pool servers in the US which should get better results if you are in the US. You can specify other general areas of the world; e.g. Europe, as well.

The log output doesn't suggest what the problem is or what to do about it.

Try posting your ntp.conf file and the output of ntpq -p after ntp has been running for at least fifteen or twenty minutes (more is better). Also post the output of ntpq -c version which should tell us what version of ntpd we are dealing with.
