hello, not being very familiar with the ntp protocol, and currently introducing myself to it properly (i.e. have always used though never dug deeply into it), i have established two ntp services on two different Linux machines. Both ntp servers are pointing to the _same_ upstream server. There is a four minute difference in time on the machines. Lets call them machine A and B. initially i established them to the same time, by synching B's time from A which itself was synched from the upstream internet ntp server. If i then modify B's config to also synch from the same upstream source, B, given enough time, will drift 4 minutes ahead of A. Can someone please point me to an introductory explanation as to why/how this can occur.
