ntpd 4.2.2p1 installed from shipped ntp-4.2.2p1-15.el5.x86_64 on RedHat 5.7:
Assume that ntpd runs with "-x" and has only one "parent" (lower stratum number)NTP server and no peer servers. True or False or Insufficient-Data: According to the man page and doc.ntp.org, "kernel time discipline is disabled" if my local ntpd uses "-x". So if my local ntpd loses its one-and-only parent NTP server, the local ntpd will no longer enforce any discipline whatsoever on the local clock. In other words, my local ntpd is literally doing nothing, just consuming a little RAM and a few cycles every now and then.
