NTP won't update

[Nathaniel Hall]

I am executing ntpdate /timeserver/.

Here is my ntpq -p:

    ntpq: read: Connection refused

Like I said, I have ntp running correctly on several Fedora Cor 3 
servers, as well as RHAS3 servers without problems.  I have double 
checked our firewalls and do not see a problem.  The firewall on the 
local box is disabled so that shouldn't be a problem.  I did ask the guy 
who actually installed the system if he enabled SELinux and he did.  The 
only thing that still throws me off is that we have other systems with 
SELinux enabled that didn't give us any problems.
