Ulrich,
The state variable was never intended to be externally visible. It has
changed in many ways for many reasons. The variables designed for
external monitoring are explicitly revealed in the documentation, in
particular the ntpq page and the Event Messages and Status Words page.
Anything else is and will be grossly misleading.

Hi,
in a program I wrote I used the existence of the "state" variable to
detect a ntpd v4. To my surprise I found a server that runs NTPv4
without a "state" variable:
ntpq> rl
assID=0 status=0415 leap_none, sync_uhf_clock, 1 event, event_clock_reset,
version="ntpd [email protected] Mon Feb 8 15:25:35 UTC 2010 (1)",
processor="i686", system="Linux/2.6.32.7-ppsbeta", leap=00, stratum=1,
precision=-20, rootdelay=0.000, rootdisp=0.141, refid=GPS,
reftime=d00f9725.13579120 Fri, Aug 13 2010 12:04:21.075,
clock=d00f972d.e89a3fc1 Fri, Aug 13 2010 12:04:29.908, peer=46241,
tc=4, mintc=3, offset=0.002, frequency=26.025, sys_jitter=0.002,
clk_jitter=0.003, clk_wander=0.000
Is that standard, or is it a patched version? While I might like the
additional variables, I wonder where the old ones went to...
Regards,
Ulrich
