The -nomodify change had no effect on my system as well.

I just tried ntpq -p like you did, and its initial response was "ntpq: read:
Connection refused". On a hunch, I then started ntpd by typing its name as
root with no switches. Then, ntpq -p returned a list of 5 servers and their
associated stats.

And now, after being behind by 11 minutes and continuing to creep, my Ubuntu
time is roughly in sync with my cell phone. :-)

The second suggested fix (involving wired LAN settings) is not viable for
me, as using DHCP would cause more problems than it would fix. My network
is very happy with its static IP addresses!

Thanks for the insight, and I do hope this gets fixed at least by Hardy's
final release. Do fixes like this also get applied back to previous
versions (i.e., Gutsy)?
