Package: ntp-server
Version: 1:4.2.0a+stable-8.1
Severity: important
ntp-server is quickly losing its time sync. I don't know WTF, but for
years ntp has kept offsets < 100 ms on my host, with the same 3
upstream servers I'm using now. But look at the offsets in the
following sequence of results of 'date; ntpq -c peers', taken about 5
minutes apart:

Now ntpdate has some catching up to do:
# /etc/init.d/ntp-server stop
Stopping NTP server: ntpd.
# ntpdate louie.udel.edu cudns.cit.cornell.edu 68.87.136.45
16 Mar 04:45:38 ntpdate[4844]: step time server 128.4.40.12 offset -11.689745
sec
# ntpdate louie.udel.edu cudns.cit.cornell.edu 68.87.136.45
16 Mar 04:45:41 ntpdate[4850]: adjust time server 128.4.40.12 offset -0.058759
sec
At this point, I have to shut down ntpd and run ntpdate once a day.
ntpd is just broken.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks, Andrew.
