I'm not sure what that does, or why it doesn't show other servers you 
should have configured.  ntpq -p would seem to be a better command to 
show what's going on.

I had a machine that would lose contact with its time server, drift a 
ways, and then reject the server in favor of localhost.  So I'm not sure 
that using localhost as a time source is a good idea, at least if there 
is only one other source to check against.  But when all is running it 
works ok.
