I have assumed the 106 ms offset comes from the clock drifting due to
it not being sync'd by ntp? I brute force set the clock with an ntpdate
before i started the ntpd, but from then it drifts...
It not selecting a server to sync is the probelm I think, but Im afraid
I have no idea why?

The servers diagnostics indicate it is happy, and I can sync a linux
(Fedora core 4) box to it ok.

Ok, I set the host to the clockbox:
ntpq> host 192.168.0.230
current host set to 192.168.0.230, I have a xover connection to one
port on this server, so 192. is not as bad as it seems.

there seem to be a lot of no replys?

I can see nothing suspicious here, apart from sync_telephone possibly?
Thanks for the help, this is an area I have not been in before.
