I just checked the xntpd daemon on my company's server and noticed that it
isn't communicating with any time servers.  I tried fiddling with the
configuration file, but that didn't help.  Running the daemon in debug
mode, I found that it is receiving response packets from the time servers,
but it is ignoring them all!

bash-2.03# xntpd -d -p /var/run/xntpd.pid

Why is xntpd ignoring time replies?
