Please try out
ftp.e-smith.com/pub/e-smith/dev/e-smith-4.1rc2/updates/RPMS/e-smith-ntp-1.2.0-0
6.noarch.rpm
The template expansion now does a gethostbyname() to work out the IP address
of the NTP server and puts that IP address in the filter. If the
gethostbyname() fails, we fallback to allowing NTP from all, which is o.k.
since the kernel will only listen to NTP responses to queries it sent.
Please let devinfo know whether this solves the problem.
Thanks,
Gordon
