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. -- Peter Jeremy
