Thanks to several people who came up with this idea.
My current entry has TCP in it so I will change it to UDP.
Here is the current entry from /etc/services:

ntp   123/tcp        # Network Time Protocol

I assume that the standard software distribution from
SUN for SunOS 4.1 must have the tcp entry.

NOTE:  How about listing this possible problem in the README file for
       the NTP distribution so other people will not have to solve
       the same problem again.
