I'm using the ebuild for openntpd 3.7_p1 which works quite nicely. But after running about one day the normal output suddenly changes: reply from 80.190.252.238: offset -0.028608 delay 0.096864, next query 310s reply from 212.204.235.154: offset -0.021086 delay 0.113792, next query 314s sendto: Invalid argument sendto: Invalid argument ... It just continues to go on like that and doesn't answer to ntp queries anymore. (I'm using it as LAN ntpd.)

nope sorry still no good exactly the same problem
hhm, crazy... can't think of anything. firewall perhaps? running strace for a whole day is not really an option, i guess... i have openntpd running both on x86 and x86-hardened with 300-600 req/min for months in a row - no problem here.
(In reply to comment #4) > can't think of anything. firewall perhaps? I guess it's a problem of openntpd, 3.9 shows the same symptoms. Norbert Buchmuller reported the same bug in Debian, and also came up with a patch to work around it. Please see http://bugs.debian.org/392250 for his description and a patch. The patch applies to 3.7_p1 as well.
openntpd-3.9_p1-r1 was committed to the tree which applies the patch from the debian bug tracker - please test. if nothing shows up i plan on asking for stable marking on that one in a month or two... thanks for everybodies input - sorry for taking so long...
Is fixed for a long time now...closing
