Stop there. There's historically been no good reason for NTP to be a
signed service, especially if you're restricting NTP services to a
local VLAN anyway. Start with it *unsigned*, and turn off the
restrictions. \verify that it's up with tools like "ntpdc -l", and
verify that ntptrace to the localhost and to the remotely designated
NTP servers is working correctly.

Simply slapping in a more recent version hand-built may work, but it's
not a production grade solution. That 'signdsocketdir' option is not
in the documentation for the NTP 4.2.4. Do you actually need that
feature for sme reason?
