Danny thanks for the reply, I may try that, but this is also happening when running ntpq from windows server console as well. Stating that, also keep in mind the gabage in the refid field is only coming from windows server peers. I would think if it is an ntp issue on linux, then I would only beeing seeing this problem when running ntpq on linux consoles. I had previously reviewed ntp.org bug list, and you are correct - there is a listing that is new for Solaris and regarding 4.2.0b. However, I was hoping someone may have found a root cause or workaround. https://ntp.isc.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=221 In addition, 4.2.0 is production release, while 4.0.2a is point release and is supported by Redhat updates. Version 4.0.2b is not currenly supported since it is still development. As such, moving to 4.0.2b for linux would require us to move away from update mangement, related to ntp, to our redhat timeservers throughout our organization. This is not a serious problem - but does cause additional and hopefully unnecessary work down the road.
