Googling around results in an awful lot of "It just works!" answers.
Well, it doesn't :-)

Here's the ntp.conf I'm using:

restrict default nomodify notrap noquery
restrict 127.0.0.1

# -- CLIENT NETWORK -------
restrict 192.168.101.0 mask 255.255.255.0 nomodify notrap

# --- OUR TIMESERVERS -----
server 0.pool.ntp.org iburst
server 1.pool.ntp.org iburst
server 2.pool.ntp.org iburst
server time.nist.gov

# --- NTP MULTICASTCLIENT ---

# --- GENERAL CONFIGURATION ---

# Undisciplined Local Clock.
fudge   127.127.1.0 stratum 9

# Drift file.
driftfile /var/lib/ntp/drift
broadcastdelay  0.008

# Keys file.
keys /etc/ntp/keys



But port 123 is not available to other hosts on the same subnet.  No,
there is no iptables or any other firewall running on this host.  How do
I make it actually listen for connections?
