You CAN'T set the stratum!

YOU are NOT SUPPOSED to set the stratum!  If your server is getting time 
from a stratum 1 server, your server is Stratum 2.  Any system that gets 
time from your server is at Stratum 3 and so on!

A Stratum one server is getting its time directly from an atomic clock.

Stratum is NOT a measure of accuracy!  It's simply the number of "middle 
men" between you and the atomic clock.
