since updating to 5.9 a little while ago I find a load of these in /var/log/messages, which I've not seen before: Jan 17 22:17:18 fcshome ntpd[4680]: sendto(216.230.228.211) (fd=22): Invalid argument ... Is ntp busted in 5.9?
Dunno, but I upgraded to 5.9, rebooted and I do not have (yet) such errors... Do you also have the regular messages too when ntpd starts?
Here's what I see from rebooting last night after doing the updates. The first one appears to be during the shutdown, and the rest from the reboot:

And there are a bazillion more of those errors continuing up to more or less the moment I write this.
Did you edit /etc/sysconfig/ntpd?
No. should I have?
