Another doubt of mine concerns the following phrase: "The maxerr has the 
maximum NTP error seen." Can you please elaborate on this? 
What error are you referring to? The error in time synch between the machine
and it's time reference?

That's my recollection, but I'm not positive. In general, it's just a gauge of how trustworthy the numbers are. e.g. if the delay says 30ms, but the error is 20ms, the result is unlikely to be as useful.


IIRC, It is the sum of the max error reported by ntpq on both the sending and receiving machines.
