>Description:
I have several loopback aliases (204.125.184.156 for instance) but
ntpd doesn't listen on them correctly:

> netstat -anf inet | grep 123
udp        0      0  127.0.0.1.123          *.*                   
udp        0      0  204.152.186.134.123    *.*                   
udp        0      0  204.152.189.139.123    *.*                   
udp        0      0  *.123                  *.*                   

>How-To-Repeat:
ifconfig an lo0 alias, watch ntpd ignore it.
>Fix:
Not known.
