>Description:
While trying to lock down ntpd without a firewall, I was trying to do one of two things:

1. Get ntpd to listen only on localhost to avoid opening up potential security backdoors.
2. Get ntpd to listen to a select set of addresses.

Point was to get ntpd to function in a 'more secure' manner like ntpdate.

It doesn't seem that there's a 'listen only on select addresses option' available in ntpd, so 1. looks impossible. According to the documentation though, I should be able to restrict access to just localhost, so 2. should be doable [1]. In reality, this option doesn't seem to work as advertised, s.t. if I set 'restrict ignore default' it will reject all requests.

1. http://support.ntp.org/bin/view/Support/AccessRestrictions#Section_6.5.1.2.1.

server 0.freebsd.pool.ntp.org iburst maxpoll 9
server 1.freebsd.pool.ntp.org iburst maxpoll 9
server 2.freebsd.pool.ntp.org iburst maxpoll 9

restrict default ignore
restrict 65.75.130.21
restrict 127.0.0.1
restrict -6 ::1

# service ntpd restart
