If it is reporting S12 then you must have it configured to use its local clock as a refclock. ntpd is correctly reporting that it is sync'd to its local refclock. ntpd is behaving as designed. It may be that your configuration is incorrect. Geir> 2. Does ntpd behave correctly? Is a server's stratum used in any way Geir> in ntpd's clock selection process? Yes.
