Issue with NTP configuration

Question

I am working with RHEL-6 64 bit server. When using ntpq -p I get the following result:

$ ntpq -p
localhost: timed out, nothing received
***Request timed out

With RHEL 5.4 we were using a ntp configuration as below:

# /etc/ntp.conf
server <ip> prefer key <keyval>

But it is not working with the RHEL 6 ?

Answer 1

If you have restrict default ignore set in ntp.conf, then it will ignore everything.
