I can't get my NTP client on my Fedora Core 5 box to synchronize.  I
went through a number of the troubleshooting/FAQs I found, but I still
can't seem to make it go.  Any help would be much appreciated.

I tried a number of different NTP servers (from the global pool, as
well as from my company's internal server).  It appears that I am
sending and getting responses from the servers, but my NTP client is
rejecting them for some reason.  Here is some pertinent output from my
ntpq:

And from ntpc:

duplicate:            0
bad dispersion:       0
bad reference time:   0
candidate order:      0


How can I find out why the NTP responses are being rejected?  My system
log shows no errors, the "flash" variable is 0x00, I'm seeing the
responses on my Ethereal network capture, etc.  I've also tried
removing all restrictions from my ntp.conf file.  Any ideas from the
NTP gurus??

Thanks in advance,
