Your reach field shows that only the three most recent polls were successful!!!! This is not good. Did you disconnect the network cable or have a network problem? That is probably why none of the three servers has been selected.

Yes. Somehow my system rebooted?? I don't know why. But it came back up and that was the result.

Can you find a fourth server? Four are the minimum required to protect against one falseticker. Five protect against two falsetickers and seven against three. With only three servers, the failure of one leaves you with only two.

OK on adding another server. Iwill do that right now. And here is what things look like now that it has been running for nearly a full day:

It is written that a man with two clocks can never be certain what time it is!!

You need to let that system run for a while, perhaps for as long as a full day to reach a stable state with good synchronization.

Yes. And of course I plan to run it forever without any breaks as I have this on my server which runs all the time anyway..
