Hi everyone,

I am trying to setup an ntpd to use the local clock as the "reference source" 
and so I can set the time to late June and verify 1) what ntpd does and 2) what 
clients do.

I had it working with the 4.2.4 that comes with FreeBSD 10.1 (and the local 
clock), but I wanted to use 4.2.8 since that's what is supported (and because 
of the better, I think, support for the leap second list file).

With 4.2.4 then I could configure ntpd with this and it'd serve time to clients:

server 127.127.1.1 minpoll 4 maxpoll 5
fudge  127.127.1.1 stratum 4

WIth 4.2.8 it never thinks it's in sync with that configuration.

I've also tried with variations of 

tos orphan 3 orphanwait 2

and "tos orphan" plus the local clock.

Finally then I've tried adding a bogus server (one that never responds) on a 
server line in case ntpd really wants to try reaching a real clock before it'll 
give up and trust the local clock, but I keep getting "127.0.0.1: Server 
dropped: Server has gone too long without sync" from ntpd.

What am I missing?
