Any hints/errors in /var/log/ntp?

I haven't found any such log, locate *log*ntp* produces nothing I
recognize as useful?
I think you have to reconfigure NTP to use its own log if you want to
that, else you just get some basic details logged in /var/log/messages.
I did find: /usr/bin/ntpstat
synchronised to NTP server (198.82.1.203) at stratum 3
time correct to within 79 ms
polling server every 512 s
Which seems to indicate ntp is working at least but I don't have the
convenient data display I am accustomed to.
It seems peculiar to your machine, not FC5 in general, I just got a
friend with FC5 and ntp-4.2.0.a.20050816-11 to send me the output of
"/usr/sbin/ntpq -p", and he got normal results:
remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter

Yes, that is the sort of data I normally see.
I suppose there's a few things that could be throwing a spanner in the
works (SELinux, DNS resolution, network routing).
Selinux is off, I have used numerical addresses, network routing?
Something that I've seen mentioned regarding other problems, at least,
is NTP running more than once. I don't know how or why that happens,
but I've seen it happen here, and odd things happen because of it
Ed Greshko asked -
service ntpd status
ntpd (pid 18799) is running...
I forgot to provide that in the last message.
