this is the only issue I have with ntpd:

If the daemon stops or in one case I had a smp machine that would skew
the time faster than ntp would keepup with it so I created a script taht
would check all the machines listed in a file and do some ugly hacks to
figure out if the box was synced or not. I run it via cron
periodically:

I will put the script at

browser readable :

if you are interested.

I have been playing with a better way to do this using ntpdc. For
instance

ntpdc -c sysinfo |awk '/stratum/ {print $2}'

will print the stratum that the peer of the machine is running at. On
my machines if it is synced it usually prints 2 or 3 depending on the
server it is synced to. If a box is not synced it prints 11 since that
is the stratum I set the local fudge to. At least I think that is
right.
