Dear folks,

Could you explain me what the word 'outlyer' means in all NTP related
documents? Should I worry about remote servers marked with space in
output of "ntpq -p" or not?

Thanks

Gabor

It's where one system is grossly different to all the rest. Suppose that you had 10 server. Your offsets with 9 servers are in the range -0.1s to +0.1s, but one server shows an offset of 0.9s. It would be the "outlier" - something which lies outside the rest. See:
