[Bug 1558125] [NEW] ntpd doesn't synchronize to local clock (ntpd 4.2.8p4/xenial)

[Jonathan Sylvain]

Public bug reported:

Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial Xerus development branch)
ntpd version: 1:4.2.8p4+dfsg-3ubuntu3
Source available at: http://packages.ubuntu.com/source/xenial/ntp

Using the local clock as a source for ntpd doesn't work anymore

This appears to have already been fixed in  4.2.8p5 as per the bug report referenced below
http://bugs.ntp.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2965


Sample config extract from /etc/ntp.conf:
server 127.127.1.0
fudge 127.127.1.0 stratum 3


Results from ntpq, we would expected the server to be reachable and synced :
# ntpd -p
     remote           refid      st t when poll reach   delay   offset  jitter
==============================================================================
 LOCAL(0)        .LOCL.           3 l    -   64    0    0.000    0.000   0.000

# ntpq 
ntpq> as

ind assid status  conf reach auth condition  last_event cnt
=============================================
  1  4979  8011   yes     no    none     reject       mobilize   1
