Thanks, I hadn't thought of using a non-existant top level domain. I've changed the hostname to daemon.foo.lan and now localhost.foo.lan resolves to 127.0.0.1 as it should. Unfortunately, I still get the same response form ntpq: daemon:~ % sudo ntpq -p ntpq: write to localhost.foo.lan failed: Permission denied Even with my firewall disabled I get this response.
