Public bug reported: Hi,
if I add a line like "interface ignore all" to /etc/ntp.conf in Ubuntu 10.04 and restart the ntp service, it will still listen on all interfaces. We have two ntp servers running in our environment, all other servers should just use ntp to synchronise time with them. Because of this bug we actually have several hundred ntp servers on our virtualized web servers. This seems to be fixed in 12.04. If I add the line there, ntp only listens on the localhost interface.
