No I compared the output of ntpq -crv of the vps against the one of my win-7 pc
(pretty much at the same moment):
the vps:
C:\Windows\System32>ntpq -crv
associd=0 status=c018 leap_alarm, sync_unspec, 1 event, no_sys_peer,
version="ntpd [email protected] Jul 30 11:55:08 (UTC+02:00) 2012 (2)",
processor="x86", system="Windows", leap=11, stratum=4, precision=-21,
rootdelay=30.116, rootdisp=2739.938, refid=5.9.67.110,
reftime=d7bf26ea.de20f8a0 Sat, Sep 13 2014 22:26:18.867,
clock=d7bf9fc1.ed49adcd Sun, Sep 14 2014 7:01:53.926, peer=0, tc=6,
mintc=3, offset=0.000, frequency=500.000, sys_jitter=0.000,
clk_jitter=0.000, clk_wander=0.143
the win-7 pc:
C:\Windows\system32>ntpq -crv
associd=0 status=0618 leap_none, sync_ntp, 1 event, no_sys_peer,
version="ntpd [email protected] Jul 30 11:55:08 (UTC+02:00) 2012 (2)",
processor="x86", system="Windows", leap=00, stratum=2, precision=-10,

clock=d7bfa0c4.3e172bd3 Sun, Sep 14 2014 7:06:12.242, peer=20373,

clk_jitter=22.769, clk_wander=0.025
hmm ?
1) (is ntp started with the wrong setup on the vps?)
vps-failed: status=c018 leap_alarm, sync_unspec
pc-working: status=0618 leap_none, sync_ntp
2) (vps' ref-time is ~ the last restart of ntp, pc-ref ~= pc-clock)
vps-failed: reftime=d7bf26ea.de20f8a0 Sat, Sep 13 2014 22:26:18.867
pc-working: reftime=d7bfa048.5247afc8 Sun, Sep 14 2014 7:04:08.321
3) (does s.o. knows what that might mean?)
vps-failed:
peer=0, tc=6, mintc=3, offset=0.000, frequency=500.000,
sys_jitter=0.000, clk_jitter=0.000, clk_wander=0.143
pc-working:
peer=20373, tc=10, mintc=3, offset=98.888, frequency=-81.326,
sys_jitter=35.732, clk_jitter=22.769, clk_wander=0.025
Remark on 1) both ntp are using the default set up of the installation, I only
changed the server-list.
