ntpq timed out

[Chad]

I am trying to setup ntpd (4.0.99k) but cannot query the service using
ntpq. I think it is something simple, but have not been able to solve
the problem using the documentation. When I try to list the peers
with ntpq I get:
ntpq> pee
127.0.0.1: timed out, nothing received
***Request timed out

My configuration file is:

server ntp-1.cso.uiuc.edu
server ntp-2.cso.uiuc.edu
server ntp-0.cso.uiuc.edu
driftfile /etc/ntp/drift
authenticate no
restrict default ignore

I can set my time with ntpdate ntp-1.cso.uiuc.edu so I know I can
contact the server. I do not see any errors in the log file. Why
can't I run any ntpq commands? It makes it difficult to troubleshoot.

Have you tried removing the "restrict" first?

It is ignoring you, just like you asked it to.

Thanks, I knew it was something simple. It seems so obvious now. I
thought that line would prevent clients from connecting to me as a
server. I did not know that meant the local host too. Now I know.
Thanks again.
