I think this is normal, the above status codes are in hex. Bit 0 of the 1st byte tells about clock source (0=A 1=B), bit 1 of 1st byte stands for mode status (0=PLL 1=FLL), bit 2 of 1st byte represents resolution status (0=us 1=ns) and bit 7 of the 2nd byte indicates that PLL updates are enabled. status 0x2001 = source A, mode PLL, resolution ns, PLL updates enabled status 0x6001 = source A, mode FLL, resolution ns, PLL updates enabled The command 'ntpdc -c kerninfo | grep status' displays some of this status information in human-readable format.
