Hi FreeBSD team,

I have discovered a problem with FreeBSD 2.0.5 Release and xntpd.

I have a dialup ppp (using the kernel ppp i.e. /usr/sbin/pppd) connection
to an ISP. If I start xntpd (with debugging compiled in and enabled via
the -d option) while I am connected, it correctly talks to the time
server every minute and updates my machine's clock. I then break the
connection. Xntpd now correctly reports "no route to host". If I then
re-establish the connection, I can see xntpd sending a request each
minute. For some reason, it doesn't see the reply correctly. It reports
the following error message:

  ignore/drop on 0(10) fd=4 from 128.250.22.2

My /etc/ntp.conf simply consists of

  server 128.250.22.2

I don't know enough about the code to even determine whether the problem
is in xntpd or the kernel.

Could somebody who knows about these things please have a look at this.

Thanks very much,
  Graham
