Yes, localhost has 5 because it has synced to clusternode1-priv, which is operating at stratum 4. After you shut that off, localhost goes to 4 because it is synced to its own local clock, which has apparently been configured with "fudge 127.127.1.? stratum 3". After you bring clusternode1-priv back up, it has its choice of its local clock at stratum 3 or clusternode1-priv at stratum 4. They are close, so it stays with its local clock. Look at "ntpq -p" and ntp.conf, and then change your ntp.conf so it has "fudge 127.127.1.? stratum 10" instead of stratum 3. -Tom _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
