I found one problem. Of all the dumb things to make a mistake on, and
when, I have no idea. /etc/hosts file had an entry of 127.0.0.` instead
of 127.0.0.1 -- that corrected the host or service unknown error, but
now, when I try to issue any command from either ntpdc or ntpq, it times
out. Sumtin still ain't right somewhere, but I'll find it eventually.
Other than that, I think ntp is updating and workign as advertised.
