I'll bet you selected a firewall configuration when you installed 7.1.
To see if that is the case you can do a:
/etc/init.d/ipchains stop
then try your ntpdate. If it works, you'll need to add something to
/etc/sysconfig/ipchains like:
-A input -s 0/0 -d 0/0 123 -p udp -j ACCEPT
This will allow ntp connections from any address. It would be better to
identify the IP address of the server you're using and put it in place of
1.2.3.4 here:
-A input -s 1.2.3.4 -d 0/0 123 -p udp -j ACCEPT
It is also possible to restrict connections through /etc/inetd.conf, but
you'd have to have done that by hand.
