Question ntpq


I am using redhat linux. I wanted to the list of peers using ntpq -p which gives me the response "Temporary failure in name resolution". Any suggestions?

ntp.conf can't be resolved to IP addresses. Check the
spelling or your resolv.conf or your network connectivity
to your DNS server or ...
