ntpq problem

[promotor]

hello, i have a problem with my ntp running on AIX5L. my ntp.conf file has the following entry:

broadcastclient no
server 133.100.9.2 #fukuoka
fudge 133.100.9.2 stratum 1
server 127.127.1.0 #local clock
fudge 127.127.1.0 stratum 13
driftfile /etc/ntp.drift

as you can see, the time server in fukuoka has a stratum 1 while the local clock has stratum 13, but when i run ntpq -p, the output shows:

remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset disp
============================================================
fukuok 71.80.8 13 u 63 128 267 650.01 132.749 37.25

*LOCAL LOCAL(0) 3 l 50 64 377 0.00 0.000 10.01

which shows a weird stratum entry. what could be the problem?

hi,

have you got any entries local in your ntp.conf file

i don't know whether ntpdate exists on AIX 5 , but don't see why not >
you can try ntpdate 133.100.9.2
and then do ntpq -p

could it be someone has done ntpdate local etc.. to use the
time on your server

you may have to remove local first and then do an ntpdate
