Hopefully this patch will be commited soon. I'd also like to make an additional, unrelated, suggestion, specific to 10.2 upgraders: --- ntp.conf.orig1 2015-07-24 14:54:23.378446000 +0200 +++ ntp.conf 2015-07-24 14:53:15.242509000 +0200 @@ -59,6 +59,12 @@ restrict 127.0.0.1 restrict ::1 =20 +# NTP mode 7 implementation-specific requests, as used by the deprecated= +# ntpdc(8) utility, are no longer processed by default (v4.2.8). +# Use ntpq(8) instead of ntpdc(8), or restore the old behaviour at the c= ost +# of additional security risks, depending on your 'restrict' options. +#enable mode7 + # # If a server loses sync with all upstream servers, NTP clients # no longer follow that server.
