Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ntp
Jaunty, fully up-to-date as of 5 minutes ago. Running in a VMware
Server 1.0.8 VM (so time is erratic).
ntp 4.2.4p4+dfsg-7ubuntu5
ntptrace reports "stratum 16" but ntpd reports sync in syslog, thus
ntptrace should report "stratum 3" (in the example below).
[...@ubuntu-904:T2:L1:C61:J0:2009-03-30_17:52:22_EDT]
/home/jp$ ntptrace
localhost: stratum 16, offset 0.000000, synch distance 0.012630
[...@ubuntu-904:T2:L1:C63:J0:2009-03-30_17:53:14_EDT]
/home/jp$ sudo ntptrace

Expected: ntptrace should report valid results, for example, from a Debian
Lenny also in VMware Server 1.0.8 :
$ ntptrace
localhost: stratum 3, offset -0.000327, synch distance 0.106666
ip-72-167-54-201.ip.secureserver.net: stratum 2, offset -0.000102, synch
distance 0.050385
montpelier.ilan.caltech.edu: stratum 1, offset 0.000049, synch distance
0.000835, refid 'USNO'
