Description Wade Mealing 2007-08-21 01:40:51 UTC
Description of problem:

The man page for ntpd states that 

  -L      Listen to virtual IPs.

Which doesn't seem to be the case, instead it should be:

  -L      Do not listen to virtual IPs. The default is to listen.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

ntp-stable-4.2.0a-20040617


Additional info:

Credit goes to mmatsuya for the patch and investigation.
