Annoying isn't it?  I get the same thing on the same distro and only on the 
LAN side.  Apparently it's something to do with how ping figures out the 
reply time.  But why it's there beats me.  My HW clock is in sync, and the 
client's clock is in sync with the server, so I'm confused too.

BTW, I don't get this behaviour on the MDK8.2 server, or any other servers 
for that matter.
