can't get ntp to stay up

I'm trying to set up a gateway machine, which runs fc1, that will be a time 
server for a small mixed linux/windows network.

I get:

[root at gateway etc]# /usr/sbin/ntpq -p
/usr/sbin/ntpq: read: Connection refused

not surprising:

[root at gateway etc]# ps -aux | grep ntp
root     20150  0.0  0.5  4644  580 pts/0    S    16:23   0:00 grep ntp

so I start it:

[root at gateway etc]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/ntpd  start
ntpd: Synchronizing with time server:                      [  OK  ]
Starting ntpd:                                             [  OK  ]

and /var/log/messages says it's up. Here's ALL the ntp stuff is messages:

Dec 23 16:23:58 gateway ntpdate[20158]: step time server 66.187.224.4 offset 
0.078712 sec
Dec 23 16:23:58 gateway ntpd:  succeeded
Dec 23 16:23:58 gateway ntpd[20163]: ntpd 4.2.0 at 1.1161-r Tue Oct 28 05:43:36

Dec 23 16:23:58 gateway ntpd: ntpd startup succeeded
Dec 23 16:23:58 gateway ntpd[20163]: precision = 2.000 usec
Dec 23 16:23:58 gateway ntpd[20163]: no IPv6 interfaces found
Dec 23 16:23:58 gateway ntpd[20163]: kernel time sync status 0040


But, it's not:

[root at gateway etc]# ps -aux | grep ntp
root     20168  0.0  0.5  4764  580 pts/0    S    16:25   0:00 grep ntp

and ntpq doesn't work

I've commented out redhat's "restrict default ignore" line
Here's ntp.conf:

logconfig =sysall +syncall +clockall +peeral

restrict 127.0.0.1
restrict 10.10.8.0 mask 255.255.255.0 notrust nomodify notrap

server  127.127.1.0
fudge   127.127.1.0 stratum 10

driftfile /var/lib/ntp/drift
broadcastdelay  0.008

authenticate yes

keys            /etc/ntp/keys


Any help appreciated
