Hi Hal & Harlan.

As I already wrote, changing the stratum settings doesn't change
anything.

A quote from the bug report:

Hi Brian.

Well, changing the stratum of the local clocks doesn't change anything.

# ntpq -p chip chap
server remote    refid       st t when poll reach   delay   offset
jitter
==========================================================================
chip  *LOCAL(0)  .LOCL.      11 l   12   16  377    0.000    0.000

Chap continues to run on local clock even when the peer-stratum is
better.
