Hi folks,
Have there been any changes to the way ntpd behaves in the past few
updates? Reason I ask, whenever I run the ntpq or ntpdc, I immediately
get a response of Name or service not known. I know things used to work
sometime back, and never saw this kind of stuff. Nothing has changed in
the /etc/ntp.conf file, nor has anything changed in the
/etc/ntp/ntpservers files.
T hanks......

Do you by any chance have caching-nameserver installed and had modified /etc/named.conf ? If so a caching-nameserver update may've overwritten your previous modifcations and potentially have broken DNS. Are you using N.pool.ntp.org in /etc/ntp.conf? Can you resolve those hostnames? $ awk '/ntp.org/ { print $NF }' /etc/ntp.conf | xargs -n1 dig +noall +answer Will.
