I don't like (let alone want) ntpd binding to every IP address on the host. The man pages don't say anything about specifying a binding address for ntpd. A search of the sources and Google also failed to reveal anything useful.So how to I tell ntpd to bind to a specific IP address?
ntpd doesn't have that functionality I'm afraid. The next best you can do is review your /etc/ntpd.conf 'restrict' rules carefully and implement a firewall to control access to port 123/UDP. NTP is not usually counted as much of a security risk, and the benefits of running it certainly do outweigh the risks.
