I only have one NTP server and it is a stratum 0 server in a private network.
Servers can't have a stratum of less than 1.
I really need to be less than 10 msec from server time, and if I am above, I prefer stepping to the time server to immediately adjust my time than slewing and waiting until I get to the server time. Do I have something wrong in my NTP understanding?
Any configuration using tinker takes ntpd out of specification.
What should I better do?
Work out why you are getting higher offsets than you would like and either correct the underlying problem, or, if they are the result of propagation delay variations, or interrupt latency variations, just ignore them, as ntpd is already largely ignoring them.
If the LAN is poor enough that ntpd's smoothing is not enough, consider running PPS, from a common source, to both machines.
