I've found some problem in xntpd .
I would like to know under which scenario the poll value reach to
1024, during this time the offset value set
to too large. Due to this the system clock is not set properly.
How to avoid or correct this behavior???

I've copied the output of the ntpq peers command and
the content of the ntp.conf file.

ntpq -p
     remote           refid      st t when poll reach   delay
offset    disp
