I've noticed if ntpd is already running on the client when you run the
ipa-client-install, you will get that error. I'm guessing its using ntpdate
IP ADDRESS to sync time, and cannot do so when the daemon is running.

       Now that you mentioned that I would agree with you in that it is
failing because ntpd is running already; I could not see it because of
the option "-s" in

[root@centos64 ~]# service ntpd status
ntpd (pid  3721) is running...
[root@centos64 ~]# /usr/sbin/ntpdate -U ntp -s -b -v auth.in.domain.com
[root@centos64 ~]#

I could not find what all of those arguments mean in the centos 6.5
ntpdate man page, but here is what I found under ubuntu's:

        -b     Force  the  time  to  be stepped using the settimeofday() system
               call, rather than slewed (default) using  the  adjtime()  system
               call. This option should be used when called from a startup file
               at boot time.

        -s     Divert logging output from the standard output (default) to  the
               system  syslog  facility.  This is designed primarily for conve‐
               nience of cron scripts.

        -v     Be verbose. This option will cause ntpdate's version identifica‐
               tion string to be logged.

In other words, -s is sending the output to syslog. And, if we check
/var/log/messages we will find that

Feb  9 21:17:06 centos64 ntpdate[8275]: the NTP socket is in use, exiting

as you expected. Now, how did it detect the ntpdate failed?

       Even though I already have a ntp server, I setup my newly
created freeipa kdc to do that too (it is a slave to my primary ntp).

I then build a centos host to be the test client. Just to make sure it
can see and use auth's ntp, I tested with ntpdate:

[root@centos64 ~]# ntpdate auth
  8 Feb 08:13:35 ntpdate[3251]: adjust time server 10.0.0.11 offset
-0.003097 sec
[root@centos64 ~]#

so far so good, so how about running ipa-client-install?

[root@centos64 ~]# hostname
centos64
[root@centos64 ~]# ipa-client-install --hostname=`hostname -f`
Discovery was successful!
Hostname: centos64.in.domain.com
Realm: DOMAIN.COM
DNS Domain: domain.com
IPA Server: auth.in.domain.com
BaseDN: dc=domain,dc=com

[so far so good!]

Continue to configure the system with these values? [no]: yes
User authorized to enroll computers: admin
Synchronizing time with KDC...
Unable to sync time with IPA NTP server, assuming the time is in sync.
Please check that 123 UDP port is opened.
Password for ad...@domain.com:

But, it had not problems using ntpdate against auth.  to add insult to
injury, the log claims it is using ntpdate:

2014-02-08T13:14:31Z DEBUG args=/usr/sbin/ntpdate -U ntp -s -b -v
auth.in.domain.com
2014-02-08T13:14:31Z DEBUG stdout=
2014-02-08T13:14:31Z DEBUG stderr=
2014-02-08T13:14:31Z WARNING Unable to sync time with IPA NTP server,
assuming the time is in sync. Please check that 123 UDP port is
opened.

Could it be it is pissed because it was in sync to begin with? I mean,
if we run the exact command the log file claims to have run,

[root@centos64 ~]# /usr/sbin/ntpdate -U ntp -s -b -v auth.in.domain.com|
echo $?
0
[root@centos64 ~]#

We see it was successful.

I am feeling rather clueless here...

This sounds like a bug to me but I would wait for European gurus to chime in the morning.
If it is a bug we need a ticket.
