Hi, You should generally not run IPMI cards (not only the Supermicro modules) with a public accessible IP address. My IPMI cards are running with private IPs and if I need to access these cards, I need to open a VPN tunnel to my remote network.
There were several bugs on the cards - also one which allowed remote attackers to tunnel IP traffic through the card. You should've seen the surprised face of those people who were told that their IP has been tracked seeding movies over Bittorrent ;-) Compared to this, an open NTP service is not the real problem!
