Okay, well, here's something interesting:

root at cinnamon:~# ntpdate -u pool.ntp.org
24 Apr 15:08:45 ntpdate[9163]: step time server 64.136.200.96 
offset -5.162111 sec
root at cinnamon:~# ntpdate -u pool.ntp.org
24 Apr 15:08:54 ntpdate[9164]: adjust time server 64.136.200.96 
offset -0.000806 sec
root at cinnamon:~# ntpdate -u pool.ntp.org
24 Apr 15:08:58 ntpdate[9165]: adjust time server 64.136.200.96 
offset -0.000766 sec

So, that seems to work.  Now, however, I have to wonder how to get the rest 
of it working.

It *looks like* (yet again, I'm kind of stabbing in the dark) I cannot get 
things going.  Somebody else (Bj?rn Gustafsson) suggested something about 
authentication keys?

Might that be why I'm getting the following?

ntpq> lassociations
