No network changes were made. There is/was some case where ntpd would get confused and bang its head against the limits. It would often recover if you rebooted the system or maybe just restarted ntpd. I think something in that area was fixed a while ago, but I don't remember the details and I could easily be wrong. I'm pretty sure you aren't the first person to ask a question like that. What version of ntpd are you using? Can you easily upgrade to a recent ntp-dev? Have you seen that more than once? -- These are my opinions, not necessarily my employer's.
