ntp problems stratum 2 to 14?

[Peter Jeremy]

Hi Dewayne,

Sorry for the delay.  Unfortunately, I can't really suggest anything -
it's not clear to me why ntpd would prefer a stratum 14 clock over a
stratum 2 clock.  Have you tried looking through the debugging hints
page (https://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/html/debug.html)?

I haven't seen that problem but I don't use the local clock.

During startup, it would not seem unreasonable for the local clock to
become valid first because it will have a lower jitter.  But ntpd
should switch to the stratum 2 clock and stay with in as the better
time source.  One problem is that if ntpd decides to switch away from
the clock for any reason (eg a burst of jitter), it may get stuck on
the local clock as it drifts further from "real" time.
