jg, The source and interpretation of the loopstats data have not changed in several years. The fields in order are MJD, seconds of the day, offset (s), frequency (PPM), jitter (s), wander/stability (PPM) and time constant/poll interval (log2 s). If you are using a distribution not from here, anything goes.
Note the statistics from the ntpq rv command, which has for a long time showed stability/wander and noise. There is a technical reason for this, but a careful explanation would bore you to tears. Someday all this should be rationalized with respect to the reference documentation. Dave jg wrote: > I just upgraded my old Red Hat 9 box from 4.2.0 to 4.2.2p4.
