Hello.
The ntpdc queries timeout every time on the NTP version ntp-dev-4.2.7p411 (compiled myself). Looks like the type 7 packets are blocked from localhost but I don't know why.
The same queries work on the 4.2.6 (distribution version, Debian).
I test it like this - here's a query result on 4.2.6
root at raspberrypi:~# ntpdc -c kern
pll offset: -0.024376 s
pll frequency: -49.895 ppm
maximum error: 0.0039681 s
estimated error: 8.071e-06 s
status: 2001 pll nano
pll time constant: 4
precision: 1e-09 s
frequency tolerance: 500 ppm
And the query on 4.2.7p411, with the same configuration file
root at raspberrypi:~# ntpdc -c kern
localhost: timed out, nothing received
***Request timed out
The ntpq command works on both versions.
The NTP documentation says that ntpq uses a different packet type to communicate, type 5 and ntpdc uses type 7.
What might be the reason for type 7 packets being blocked from localhost?
