There is a problem with the ntp.
One machine is connected to the internet, and is nicely synced:
So one should assume that we have a time that is about 5ms correct.
The other machine is attached to this one, and is also synced:
This second machine shows the (assumed) correct time.
But the first machine shows a time that is 27 seconds off!
And there are no error messages whatsoever.
The thing I found is this: https://serverfault.com/questions/943989/ntp-27-seconds-difference
What is obvious, is, there are exactly 27 leap seconds between the epoch and today.
So I do the following:

What is obvious, is, there are exactly 27 leap seconds between the epoch and today.
So I do the following:
- I shut down all ntpd. Clocks still differ by 27 seconds.
- I check both machines with
ntpdate -q
against the same respectable stratum-1 server. - Both say they are within 1ms. Clocks still differ by 27 seconds.
