I think there's a misunderstanding here! I am not saying that the
information is incorrect, simply that I did not understand it. Until
further tests are completed (by someone else), I will not know whether
the extra flag is useful in our circumstances.
Do you consider "How to make an NTP server with a Raspberry Pi" to be
appropriate material for your site? It's the first I've heard of it, if
so. These are the two pages which I hope to update:
http://www.satsignal.eu/ntp/Raspberry-Pi-quickstart.html
http://www.satsignal.eu/ntp/Raspberry-Pi-NTP.html
I can add a pointer to your site if you would like to suggest a suitable
starting page.
