Of much greater use would be "ntpq -p" from the system having the
problem. Is ntpd still running on that system or has it exited. If it
has exited, you should check the syslog for any messages. If it hasn't
the ntpq output would be the next step to seeing what is happening.
By the way, the output of "ntpq -p 0.pool.ntp.org" isn't very useful for
another reason. Since this is a roundrobin DNS address, there isn't any
guarantee that it is even the same system that the ntpd process is using.
