[ntp:questions] PPS SYNC DISABLED

I have in messages.log a lot of messages from the ntpd service. The
messages are:

Aug  9 09:51:03 ntp1 ntpd[62681]: kernel time sync disabled 2307
Aug  9 09:51:57 ntp1 ntpd[62681]: pps sync disabled
Aug  9 09:52:09 ntp1 ntpd[62681]: kernel time sync enabled 2107

This is a good situation. The server is synced with the GPS signal and
report stratum 1.

>From time to time (I could not determine if there are any factors that
could influence this behavior) I have:

Aug  9 07:13:10 ntp1 ntpd[59412]: pps sync disabled
Aug  9 07:20:34 ntp1 ntpd[59412]: pps sync disabled
Aug  9 07:28:50 ntp1 ntpd[59412]: pps sync disabled

and the server is not synced with the GPS signal.

To correct this last situation I have to restart the ntpd process.

Are the any technical known explanations of this behavior ?


Systems are: FreeBSD 5.4 + Garmin 18LVC
