Hey Maarten,

# ntpq -p
s0.foo.net: timed out, nothing received
***Request timed out

No response.

I reduced the ntp.conf to:

# cat ntp.conf
server 192.168.2.15
driftfile /var/lib/ntp/drift

and get a response now but of course I don't know what association IDs
are or if I need them:

# ntpq -p
No association ID's returned

# ntpq -p 192.168.2.15

No firewalls. It's an IntrAnet.
