Well, it is possible that muticast was the culprit in my case too. I have only 4 lines left that are not commented in /etc/ntp.conf: server time.nist.gov fudge 127.127.1.0 stratum 10 driftfile /etc/ntp/drift broadcastdelay 0.008 I guessed that the problem was authentication, but I didn't feel like testing each one to positively identify it.
