Did so and a few other tweaks:

     remote           refid      st t when poll reach   delay   offset

So it looks better (time-wise) but ntptime still shows `error`.
The error has to go away. Error is not there as long as ntpd is
starting, then status is OK. When local PPS is entering the game, the
status becomes error.

So what is the next step?

I am also in #ntp on freenode.
