[NTLUG:Discuss] NTP syncs to wrong server

I had a machine on an internal network serving as ntp server for the
rest of the network.  Big overhaul in network and that machine bit the
dust.  On another server, I go into /etc/ntp.conf and change server
address from old one to new one.  However, when it syncs up, it says
it is getting its time from "tick.usno.navy.mil".  That server isn't
anywhere in the /etc/ntp.conf file.  Everything is static, no DHCP
involved.  Nothing in the init files.  Running SUSE 10.0.

Where else could ntp be getting its server info from?

Thanks,
Michael
