@Alkhafaji,

If both the NTP server and client are offline or in a working state, you can manually set the stratum of the NTP server to a value that is accepted in the ntp.conf file.

Hi Dear,

What if the server and client were offline working state? How can I make the stratum of the server to be accepted?

Finally. The trick is configuring with ntpdate, which has to be installed. My time server on the internal network is my firewall. Installing Ubuntu 18.04 broke that, despite it being the only server listed in /etc/ntp.conf. Evidently, ntp doesn't read that file anymore (?), and I didn't have any better luck fooling around with timedatectl and 'timedatectl set-ntp on' Thanks for this information.

What about NTP authentication, It is extremely hard to find information on this for Ubuntu. Where is the key set, and where is the algorithm defined such as MD5, SHA1. This is very frustrating. Most sites do the bare minimum, and that is it. There do not seem to be any examples in the default ntp.conf file.
