Hi.

Are there plans on updating contrib/ntp to the latest version?

There was at least one security fix (and others at earlier versions):
+(4.2.4p8) 2009/12/08 Released by Harlan Stenn <st...@ntp.org>
+
+* [Sec 1331] DoS with mode 7 packets - CVE-2009-3563.
+

NetBSD already done that on Dec/9 (w/ MFC to 4.0.x).

For those not following the commit logs, I updated ntpd to 4.2.4p8 in head. For the release branches, a patch will be released (as we do not update whole programs in these). After two weeks, it will be merged to stable/8.

4.2.6 (or .7, whichever ntp-stable is) will follow soon.
