ntp client sync is not able to sync up, due to long root dist time

[Mats]

Logs looks similar, this old one,

Debug: Aug 11 23:09:16 NTP: UDP ports are opened
Debug: Aug 11 23:09:21 NTP: ntp_peer_unfit: dist exceeded - root dist 15.9443 of peer x.x.x.6 has exceeded max dist 1.50096000
Debug: Aug 11 23:09:21 NTP: ntp_peer_unfit: unreachable - peer x.x.x.6 is not reachable [peer->reach 0

Really need the ntp maxdist option,

sw version: 10.0.10aT243.

Any suggestion?
