David, The cause is not the intersection algorith, as to be considered and fail the intersection algorithm the tally code would be x. According to the current algorithm, the cause would have to be rejection by the unfit() routine for the causes cited. With regard to your comments about the

Folkert, First, temporarily remove all but the SHM driver to simplify debugging. Then, look at the rv billoard for that association and note the flasher bits. Then, look at the peer_unfit() routine in ntp_proto.c. The comments detail the reasons for each bit. More information is in the

Why is the '.SHM.'-clock not even considered? Because of the negative offset? Negative offsets are not a problem. They happen all the time. My guess is that something your new driver is setting up makes your clock look not-very-good. It's probably one of the obscure constants that aren't well
