* Mon Sep 15 2014 chrisAATTcomputersalat.de- bnc#857195 (CVE-2013-5211) restrict query, configuration, modification access from world by default. Avoids that ntp can be used as a DDoS amplifier.
* Thu May 10 2012 varkolyAATTsuse.com- bnc#656509 - don\'t use --bind on /var/lib/ntp/proc
* Tue May 31 2011 varkolyAATTsuse.de- bnc#689070 - ntp post install script always removes /etc/sysconfig/ntp- bnc#688529 - (ntp) ntpq and ntpdc command history broken- bnc#682745 - ntpd does not start if a local dcf77 refclock is configured, preventing a successful system boot- bnc#688132 - fix/improve init script
* related to bugzilla 688132
* \"rcntp ntptimeset\" could not parse servers from ntp.conf when IP proto was specified (server [-4|-6] hostname)
* \"rcntp ntptimeset\" is now using ip proto parameter (-4|-6) if it\'s set in NTPD_OPTIONS and skip servers where the opposite proto is defined- bnc#695598 - \"Started sntp\" in /var/log/messages- The default timeout for sntp is to long. This can stop booting.
* Thu Feb 03 2011 mvidnerAATTsuse.cz- updated the sntp syntax also in our ntpdate script (bnc#658255#c2)
* Tue Jan 04 2011 adrianAATTsuse.de- update to version 4.2.6p3
* main feature, it really ! updates the time, old version was miscalculating the offset based on t21 and t34

* Tue Dec 14 2010 ismailAATTnamtrac.org- bnc#657194 - compile with --enable-ntp-signd
* Mon Dec 13 2010 varkolyAATTnovell.com- bnc#658799 - ntp init script makes /proc readonly, blocking login
* Wed Dec 08 2010 varkolyAATTnovell.com- bnc#658255 - ntpd is not working and sntp complains about unknown options
* Tue Nov 30 2010 varkolyAATTnovell.com- update to 4.2.6p2
* Major code clean up. 1. The protostats statistics files have been very useful in exposing little twitches and turns when something hiccups, like a broken PPS signal. Most of what used to be syslog messages are now repackaged as protostats messages with optional syslog as well. 2. Close inspection of the clock discipline behavior at long poll intervals (36 h) showed it not doing as well as it should. 3. Autokey. The enhanced error checking was becoming a major pain. A way was found to toss out gobs of ugly fat code and replace the function with a much simpler and more comprehensive scheme. 4. The interface code for the kernel PPS signal was not in sync with the kernel code itself. Some error checks were duplicated and some ineffective. 5. The flake restrict bit turned out to be really interesting, especially with symmtric modes and of those especially those using Autokey.
