I upgraded to yesterday's -current; now, ntpd isn't synchronizing:

ntpq -c peer
     remote           refid      st t when poll reach   delay   offset  jitter
==============================================================================
xraptor.research 135.37.9.18      2 u   58   64  377   17.996  -14.613  25.466
xhelm3017.resear 135.207.32.28    3 u    1   64  377    1.107  818.970  18.044

The 'x' means "falseticker" -- befor I restarted ntpd, I was 3-4 seconds off,
with both showing the 'x'.

Here are the relevant lines from ntpd.conf:

# egrep -v '^#' /etc/ntp.conf


pidfile         /var/run/ntpd.pid


driftfile       /var/db/ntp.drift


logconfig       -syncstatus
