I've just been using this one:
https://github.com/ftnapps/jamnntpd

The page references v1.3 but when I git clone it, I guess I'm getting v1?

Is there another place to get 1.3?

I compiled on Ubuntu 16 32bit and copied the binaries over to Ubuntu 22 64bit.
Crude but effective.  :)

Cool, I'll check that out this evening.

I've never manually patched something before, this sounds more like a weekend thing!  ;)

Right now I'm just putting the IPv4 addy in the clients which seems to work well enough.

 Ac> Good luck!

Thanks so much for your help with this, much appreciated!
