I have an ntpd daemon running on one of my boxes and it is synch'ng with
external clocks just fine:
ntpdc> peers
remote local st poll reach delay offset disp
=======================================================================

but if I try to synch with it, even as the localhost I get the following:
# ntpdate -bu localhost
28 Aug 04:51:17 ntpdate[27869]: no server suitable for synchronization
found
although a tcpdump show the traffic to be what looks normal:
