[ntp:questions] Synchronizing contrived time

Thanks to Per for spotting my usage error. ntpd seems to be working fine.
Still client refuses to sync from the server, with the same error message
as before:
192.168.1.11: Server dropped: strata too high
server 192.168.1.11, port 123
stratum 16, precision -23, leap 11, trust 000

While this has been an educating & worthwhile attempt, I think I'll drop it
for now. Initially, I had in-mind that getting a client to sync clocks with
a server would be a more off-the-bat experience.
Thanks for the help so-far.
