Well my firewall should allow outgoing initiated sessions from the
ntpd (internal) server. From what I read, the remote ntpd server 
does not initiate communications, it my server that initates the
communications?

That assumed, my firewall rules (which are undergoing revision) are ok?

OK, I'm new to ntpd, but it looks straightforward.

after emerging, I started up ntpd and added it to the default run level.
Then I checked and got:

ntpq -p
     remote           refid      st t when poll reach   delay   offset  jitter
==============================================================================
 ecoca.eed.usv.r 80.96.120.253    2 u    8   64    1  202.639  1436722   0.001

then:
# date
Wed Feb  1 14:58:04 Local time zone must be set--see zic manual page 2006


/etc/localtime is a lock file so where do I correct/set the time zone to
EST (eastern standard time) so ntpd will see it can correct my actual time
(it's off by a little more than (1) hour.

But now when I run 'ntpq -p' I get:
ntpq: read: Connection refused

What did I mess up or miss?

man zic and man ntpd did not help, or I missed the file to edit or the 
correct command syntax....
