ntp help

[Neil Watson]

I have configured some NTP servers to synchronise with some public, stratum 2,
NTP servers. Now I'm trying to configure a client to synchronise with my new
NTP servers. The test client reports that it is more accurate than the new
servers:

[root at tor-lx-config config]# ntpq -pn
     remote           refid      st t when poll reach   delay   offset  jitter
==============================================================================
 192.168.71.12   .INIT.          16 u    - 1024    0    0.000    0.000 4000.00
 192.168.71.42   .INIT.          16 u    - 1024    0    0.000    0.000 4000.00
 192.168.71.43   .INIT.          16 u    - 1024    0    0.000    0.000 4000.00
*127.127.1.0     LOCAL(0)        10 l   50   64  377    0.000    0.000   0.002

Why are the new servers reported at stratum 16?
