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?
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" -
Look this:
remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter
==============================================================================
*host1 .GPS. 1 u 202 256 377 0.553 -1.249 0.343
+host2 .GPS. 1 u 182 256 377 3.904 -0.879 0.073
-host3 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 2 u 9 256 377 33.926 -0.450 0.152
+host4 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 2 u 8 256 377 39.030 -1.050 0.252
-host5 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 2 u 202 256 377 0.564 -0.947 0.152
Host3 and host5 are marked as outliers.
Why?
Host4 has worse paremeters.
