Trying to setup NTP with yast doesn’t work. Testing any server
says it’s unreachable or not responding. No outside servers
show up in ntpq -p, the log file says ntpd exists on signal 15.
ntpd seems to work when run as root from the command line in
debugging mode. I suspect a permissions problem with the
system setup. Anyone have any ideas what’s wrong, or how to
figure it out?

Make sure that port 123 UDP is open on your firewall.
Make sure that you have at least one server in your /etc/ntp.conf.
If no server is set use:
server us.pool.ntp.org
server 127.127.1.0
The last server above is your local clock.
Make sure the ntp daemon is started. In a terminal window enter:
ps -A | grep ntpd
This should return the pid of ntpd if it is running.

Try the pool servers.
