That server does not exist....

| server info.cyf-kr.edu.pl
| server ntp.certum.pl
| server tick.fh-augsburg.de
| server ntp.globe.cz

If you append 'iburst' to each of your server lines ntpd will
synchronize to one of your remote time servers in 15-30 seconds. Without
'iburst' you'll have to wait ~8 minutes.

Your omission of iburst and the 'ntpq -p' billboard only showing a reach
of 77 suggest that you didn't give ntpd enough time to synchronize.

| restrict default kod notrap nomodify nopeer noquery
| restrict 127.0.0.1 nomodify

These restrictions are not blocking NTP packets from your remote
time-servers. If you want to review your default restriction please see
