"restrict default ignore" will ignore all NTP time and control packets. "restrict default nomodify" will allow time packets to be processed, but disallow changes to the configuration, which is reasonably safe as long as you have multiple time sources. If you're running dhclient, though, your changes to ntp.conf will be over-written the next time your lease is renewed. -- "Of course I'm in shape!
