ntp

I'm running ntpd server in my ubuntu (10.04) machine. But it is always stays in the 'INIT' state as shown below.

lyra@ws07475:~$ ntpq -p
     remote           refid      st t when poll reach   delay   offset  jitter
==============================================================================
 europium.canoni .INIT.          16 u    - 1024    0    0.000    0.000   0.000
 lyra@ws07475:~$

Of course, this means that it is not keeping time.

How can I start 'ntpd' server properly ? Please help.
