Well the root cause of this issue could be located on various places. What I can suggest to try is run # ntpq -p <ntp source server> <ntp source server> means the server which you are trying to synchronize with If the connection is refused than you know that you have a permissions problem somewhere. An other option is to show the output of ntpq -p and /etc/ntp.conf Please make servernames and IP addresses anonymous.
