I have always found this is the usual message you get running ntpstat immediately
after running service ntpd restart.
However you I wait a few minutes then try ntpstat again then it slowly syncs the
time and after a number of minutes you will get something more like:
[root@home1 ~]# ntpstat
synchronised to NTP server (158.43.128.66) at stratum 3
time correct to within 53 ms
polling server every 1024 s
It initially sets the poll time to every 64 sec and then slowly changes to every
1024 sec.
