Will,
Everything has worked correctly in the past, and I have not made
any changes to the config files, nor dns, which is not a caching
server. A little bit more info.. somehow, the machine on which I'm
having this issue is i386, where the machine here at home is x86-64.
It works as advertized. I copied all the config files over and
deleted the first entry from the hosts, which on the local machine
pointed to the remote machine. Other than that, they both are
identical now. If, when executing either command, I enter "host
vortex.wa4phy.net" then I get normal behavior. Somehow, it is not
setting the default host, or a default host. I'm totally at a loss
to explain unless there are some diffs between the two arch's.

Sam, just for grins, why don't you try replacing host names with IP
addresses in your /etc/ntp.conf (after copying the original somewhere
safe!), issue a
#service ntpd restart
and see what that does. Another thought: If you have a single-core
processor accidentally running an smp kernel, ntpd will never
stabilize. At least, that's the way it works on this AMD Athlon I'm
using right now.
Will,
I reverted back to the original configuration, and in the process,
looked at the system-config-services. I'm seeing with the ntpd service
stopped, but the subsys is locked. There was a pid file, but removed
it. I can try ip's but they recommend using hostnames for most places
due to the fact that IP's might change (a lot of the gov't servers are
like that). I'm still dorking around trying to find what is exactly
locked -- what subsys ? Anyhow, the machine does not run the smp
kernel, but the machine here IS smp and runs the smp kernel. I'm just
baffled why with identical config files, I still get the service not
known message. Weird......
