I just started running xntpd version 1.3 on my SparcStation last week.  
It runs as a stratum 3 client of the campus's three stratum 2 servers.  
Each of the campus's stratum 2 servers is peer with a different pair of 
off-campus stratum 1 servers, and also the other two campus servers.

At this instant, I have an
	xclock -digital -update 1
running on one of the ntp servers, and another on my local workstation.
To my vast surprise, the two xclock's disagree by roughly 15 seconds.
(Unfortunately I don't have accounts on the other two servers.)

Is this normal?  I expected them to agree to within a fraction
of a second, not disagree by 1/4 minute.

Would someone with accounts on multiple stratum 2 servers please
repeat my simple experiment? 

thanks,
Bill Voss <voss@cs.uiuc.edu> 

P.S.
The large delay is because I'm operating over a slip connection, but
even that delay is only a fraction of a second.
