[Bug 700492] Re: ntp complains about ipv6 errors every 5 minutes

 

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: ntp
- 
- I believe this is a duplicate of bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ntp/+bug/569919, which has a status of "Fix Released"
- But I have the fix, and the problem still occurs.
  
  Every 5 minutes, ntpd complains about being unable to create a socked on
  an ipv6 address. I'm running a new installation of Maverick 10.10. Here
  is my syslog:

  4. Download ifenslave. Configure bonding. Set static IP address.
  5. Install NTP
