ntp will not drift to correct time

[Tom Brown <tom@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi

On 5.3 i have a situation where some boxes have been 3 or 4 seconds out 
and restarting ntpd has fixed the issue.

What i dont understand is why the clocks did not drift to the correct 
time when the config seems correct in that restarting ntp did correct 
the time.

Is there something 'special' i need to do in order for the drift to work?

$ cat /etc/ntp.conf
restrict        default ignore
restrict        127.0.0.1
restrict        10.0.0.0 mask 255.0.0.0 nomodify notrap
server        server01
server        server02
fudge           127.127.1.0 stratum 10
driftfile       /var/lib/ntp/drift
broadcastdelay  0.008
keys            /etc/ntp/keys

# cat /etc/ntp/step-tickers
server01
server02

any clues?

thanks
