192.168.1.106 is a Ubuntu 17.10 box that I'm setting up.  It's using DHCP and 
running timesync.


Looking at one of the local NTP servers that my DHCP server gives out.

43 packets with an average time between them of 8 ms.  ????


Looking at the other one:

128 packets but printing out 0 for the average time.  ??

Sigh.  Something is broken.  I've booted that system several times.  Even if 
it is doing stupid retransmissions, the clumps should be far enough apart to 
make a reasonable average interval.
