There's a big clue there, but I'm not sure what it tells us - perhaps that
NTP needs one long run before it stabilises? I'm not sure when the drift
file /should/ be written - once an hour is the rate, and I think NTP has
to be fairly certain of the value before it first writes anything - others
here will surely know.
Cheers,
David
