Hello,
ntpq -p shows the time in seconds between two polls (i.e. 16). In the
configuration file the poll interval is noted in 2^x . This means your
entry of minpoll 4 maxpoll 4 means 2^4 seconds minpoll 2^4 seconds
maxpoll . So the display of 16 seconds as result of ntpq -p is correct.
Hope this helped,
Stefan Nottorf
