I'm running latest CentOS 4.3 (2.6.9-34.0.2.ELsmp) and found that the included 'ntpd' 4.2.0a@1.1190-r will not accept NTP broadcast packets. There is a documented bug in ntpd 4.2.0 to this effect, resolved way back in 2004:
https://ntp.isc.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=267
Any chance someone can include a more recent version of 'ntpd' in the next CentOS RPM update distribution? The current stable version is 4.2.2p3, 8/5/2006.
Thanks! -Tom
CentOS rebuilds the source rpms of a major North American vendor and aims in most cases to keep in line with their sources to maintain compatibility. A version jump of the kind you wish would break the projects overriding aim.
There is an update to ntp coming in update 4, but this may not fix your issue. Below is a link to the errata information.

You may wish to file this bug at bugzilla.redhat.com or try build a newer version that is part of the fedora project.
