No local clock is in use!! I was really questioning how the
averaging algorithm could come up with a negative offset when none of
the individual offsets were negative?
That's (sort of) easy!
The local clock offset is the best estimate of the (exponentially afair)
averaging algorithm from the individual iterations of the control loop,
while the ntpq -p gives you the last measurement from each server/clock
source.
I.e. they measure different things.
