Cut and paste error? They should all look more like:

Yes, that is exactly what it looks like before Mozilla Compose
mutilated them
in producing "plain text."

Those domains all resolve, here. But I don't think you're doing
yourself any favours by referring to a bunch of NTP servers at the same
location. You want a collection of different servers, else you might
believe a set of servers to be true, that believe themselves to all be
true, when they're not (they might all be referencing themselves).

Originally I had three different sources within a few hundred miles in
hope of minimizing delays, some went away over time and the two left
always
worked well enough for my purposes. Your suggestion is obviously
valid. But I still can't see what's happening, since ntpq doesn't
work even when I
reduce the list to just the Redhat server.

I picked a collection that come from different locations:

server 0.pool.ntp.org iburst
server 1.pool.ntp.org iburst
server 2.pool.ntp.org iburst

Plus a couple of more local ones, to me (au.pool.ntp.org and my ISP's)

I can do something similar but first need to fix my problem.


Any hints/errors in /var/log/ntp?

I haven't found any such log, locate *log*ntp* produces nothing I
recognize as useful?

I did find: /usr/bin/ntpstat
synchronised to NTP server (198.82.1.203) at stratum 3
time correct to within 79 ms
polling server every 512 s

Which seems to indicate ntp is working at least but I don't have the
convenient data display I am accustomed to.

Why not try using ntpq in interactive mode. Use -i to get to that
state. Then raise the debug level with "debug more" and try "peers".
