Yeah, I'm working on getting the descriptions just right on my graphs.

Local clock frequency offset, as opposed to local clock time offset.

Sorry I did not specify which offset, but I figure the ppm shoulda
clued you in.

Nope.  ntpd has both time offsets and frequency offsets of the local clock.

To be real specific, I'm looking at field 3 of the loopstats file.
'man ntp.conf' calls that: frequency offset, with units of PPM.
