Has anyone seen problems running ntpdate with FreeBSD 2.0R?

If I do an "ntptrace xxx.yyy.zzz.com", it shows me that xxx is indeed running 
an ntp daemon. I then try "ntpdate -b -d xxx.yyy.zzz.com" and do not get an
appropriate handshake with the remote system. (If I try the same command
to the same address from one of my OSF/1 or ultrix boxes, I get the
appropriate response, btw).

The FreeBSD system is indeed trying to send to the right address and port, but 
no reply is received from the remote system.

I've also tried this from a different FreeBSD 2.0R system to my local internet 
provider running BSDi. Still no go.

Thanks.
