Hello,

I've switched my server from 1.6.2 to 2.0.2 and found out ntpd now uses
IPv6 by default. I have a lot of gif interfaces (a hundred), and at
boot time, I get this error message :
ntpd[1264]: socket(AF_INET6, SOCK_DGRAM, 0) failed on address fe80::290:27f=
f:fe71:edae: Too many open files

Later, when I manually start ntp, it starts without error. Where do you
think the problem is, and how can I correct it ?

By the way, is there a way to disable the use of IPv6 for ntpd ?
