I ran the command from the same login and same config, but using "ntpdc" rather 
than "ntpq". That's the only difference between the two.

It seems to have helped. ntpq now says:

ntpq> lassoc

... and ntpdc agrees. :-)

My only query is why is "condition" saying "reject" in lassoc output?


I hope all is now well, thanks.
