At the suggestion of a few people familiar with ntp, I have built and installed
xntp.  When I try to run xntpd, I get the same error message that I was
getting when I tried running ntpd:

Mar 18 10:21:35 ace xntpd[28361]: xntpd version 1.3
Mar 18 10:21:35 ace xntpd[28361]: get interface configuration: Can't assign
requested address

Can someone explain what this means?  [This is from the syslog file].  Is there
some strategy I might use to debug this kind of thing?  Thanks to all who
reply.

regards,

This is the /etc/ntp.conf file I use on our Alliant FX/40:
