I am trying to synchronize two computer in my local network. To do so I use NTP on one computer to synchronize with an ntp pool. Then I use ntp on the second computer and I tell it to synchronize with my first computer in the /etc/ntp.conf
server first_computer iburst
now when I do ntpq -p on the second computer I get:
remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter
==============================================================================
scitos.magazino 85.25.105.105 2 u 45 64 0 0.000 0.000 0.000

+ntp1.wtnet.de 36.224.68.195 2 u 57 64 377 34.993 -1.956 0.294
where scitos is my first computer. Everything seems nice.
But when I do
ntpdate -q scitos
I get:
server 10.8.64.62, stratum 2, offset 0.040108, delay 0.02666
5 Aug 13:42:54 ntpdate[6928]: no server suitable for synchronization found
Why is there still a delay for ntpdate?
