time sync with ntp not working correctly?

[Götz Reinicke]

Hi,

today I checked the time on some servers and found that they differ by a 
couple off minutes. Without teh ntpd running a "ntpdate gaugin" syncs 
the clock.

All servers are configured using one timeserver using ntp. The clients use

server 172.17.1.251

The Relay ntp server uses public servers.

I've reed the "http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/TimePrecision-HOWTO/ntp.html" 
and "ntpq -p" on two clints is:

remote           refid      st t when poll reach   delay   offset  jitter
==============================================================================
  gaugin.filmakad .INIT.          16 u    -  128    0    0.000    0.000 
4000.00

on one client:

remote           refid      st t when poll reach   delay   offset  jitter
==============================================================================
  gaugin.filmakad 0.0.0.0         16 u    - 1024    0    0.000    0.000 
4000.00

The server:

remote           refid      st t when poll reach   delay   offset  jitter
==============================================================================
  LOCAL(0)        LOCAL(0)        10 l   55   64  377    0.000    0.000 
   0.008

What could be wrong?
