I don't think this is the problem : the firewall accept everything in the output chain, and established/related in input : my ntp server works fine with the same rules (123/tcp is indeed useless). For me, the problem is not ntp+iptables, or it should appears in /var/log/messages, thanks to the -j LOG. There can be something wrong in ntp.conf (but this is probably not the case since it works without firewall), in the firewall (for example, if it blocks DNS requests), or in the network configuration.
