Well, the problem indeed was related to the default security settings, but setting the restrict line didn't work for me. Instead, I commented out all authentication options in /etc/ntp.conf, then it started working and I could see sync messages in /var/log/messages. Until then, I never saw and sync messages or error messages. It just didn't work. Maybe I didn't read the release notes well enough, but I got the impression from the install and from the date config utility that I did not have to do anything else to ntp.conf.
