Testing ntp server connectivity

I came across an issue today where I needed to test ntp connectivity. Unfortunately my telnet and netcat tests were not working as expected, even with the UDP option.

I found the ntpdate -q command which when a server is specified will query the NTP source. Unfortunately, according to the man page, this command will be removed.

Just blogging this so I can come back to it later.
