It does not sync. Add to ntp.conf
restrict 66.187.233.4 mask 255.255.255.255 nomodify notrap noquery
and restart the ntpd service.

I've added that line, and here is additional output:

and this output from tail -f /var/log/messages immediately after a restart of ntpd (in RH->System Settings->Server Settings->Services):

The message that there is "no server suitable ..." makes me think I should try an alternate clock server, and put the ip address in the ntp.conf file. But I am reluctant to change configuration files that I don't understand.
Am I reading this output correctly?
Thanks, Clint
