The idea is to reduce the loading of 7 machines all banging one the level
1 and 2 servers by designating one machine to bang of the debian pool,
and then broadcast it on the local 192.169.xx.xx net so all the others
stay within a millisecond of this machine.
2 machines report:
pi@picnc:/etc $ ntpq -p
No association ID's returned
One is keeping perfect time, the otheris off about 35 seconds, eveb after
a warm reboot.
All the other machines show:
gene@sheldon:~$ ntpq -p
remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset
jitter
==============================================================================
*coyote.coyote.d 65.223.27.156 2 u 387 512 377 0.137 -2.334
0.667
Or very similar, One machine, an armhrpi-3b an armhf running jessie,
makes me be root before ntpq -p will return good data.

I see you've noticed. I look at doing away with ntpdate with a semi
juandiced viewpoint.

Firewall? whuzat? I'm behind dd-wrt and all the radios are off to keep
out the neighbors cell phones. firewall by shutting out the outside
world IOW.
daemon.log.1 looks normal and reports its listening on eth0. daemon.log
was rotated this morning and was empty until I did a warm reboot half an
hour ago. And after the reboot its still 25 seconds slow.
