"server xxx" establishes you as a client, "peer xxx" tries to establish
you as a peer. If ntp.conf on box A has "peer B" and ntp.conf on box B
has "peer A", that is symmetric-active: each actively requests to peer
with the other. If box A has "peer B" but box B has no reference to A,
then B can either treat A as a client (usual behaviour), or in the right
(or wrong!) circumstances can accept A as an unconfigured peer, and that
is symmetric-passive. That seems to be what's happening with the original
poster's setup, with all those extras listed in ntpq -p. Generally it is
not desirable ...
