I'm using the json per the red comment in the first post, and when I edited the npdate.conf I used Notepad++ so retained UNIX line endings.

Any ideas please?
I didn't read close enough the first time.

I don't remember whether NTP utilities require domain names for some reason or will work with IP addresses. You can try substituting NTP server IP addresses for their domain names and see if that works. I think it should.
