I have just set up an NTP server on a Taroon Beta 1 machine. The NTP
server seems to be running, but when trying to do an "ntpdate" against
it, the client receives the following error:

 1 Aug 17:22:18 ntpdate[7453]: no server suitable for synchronization
found

This is my "ntp.conf" file:

driftfile /etc/ntp/data/drift
broadcastdelay  0.008
server ntp1.curie.fr
server ntp2.curie.fr
server ntp3.curie.fr
server time.nist.gov
server clock.redhat.com

Why does my NTP server assigns itself an stratum of 16, instead of an
stratum of 2 (since all the assigned NTP servers have an stratum of 1)?

I'm out of game with this.
Thanks!
