 .SH DESCRIPTION
 .I ntpstat
-will report the synchronisation state of the NTP daemon
+will report the synchronisation state of the NTP daemon (ntpd)
 running on the local machine.  If the local system is found to be 
 synchronised to a reference time source,  
 .I ntpstat
 will report the approximate time accuracy.
 
+When the synchronised state is reported, it means the system clock was updated
+at some point.  There is no timeout for this state.  It will stay there even
+when the source becomes unreachable and there are no other sources available.
+However, the reported accuracy will be slowly increasing, in the default ntpd
+configuration by 15 microseconds per second.
