ntp problems (strata too high)

[martinmcc at orbweavers.co.uk]

This seems to have sorted itself out - it appears to have been working all
along, I was just being a bit impatient - i.e. it takes a while for the
ntpd server to sync with the other servers, and while it does that it will
not answer queries. After a while it will sync with the other servers and
happily anser requests (that is my assumption anyway).

cheers,
Martin
