ntp server



I have two GNU/Linux pcs on my internal network w/ cable internet.

Both running Debian sid.

I have both with three 'server' lines in /etc/ntp.conf pointing to my
ISP's three time servers.

The laptop also has a line pointing to my 'server', as well as the two
"standard" debian localhost-pointing lines, one saying "stratum 13".

The server has the localhost lines, but the one with "stratum" I set to
10 instead of the default 13 - guessing based on the comments here. I
spent about 15 minutes trawling through the html ntp-doc package, but
got annoyed that I couldn't find answers quickly enough.

The problem:

My 'server', every 5 to 10 seconds jumps forward one second. Then five
to 10 seconds later, it stops for one second (since it shouldn't have
jumped forward, I'm guessing).

Any ideas?
