Public bug reported:

Prerequisites:

* Two Windows Domain Controllers with NTP enabled
* ntpsec from Ubuntu 24 LTS

$ apt-cache madison ntpsec
ntpsec | 1.2.2+dfsg1-4build2 | http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu 
noble/universe amd64 Packages


Steps to reproduce:

* Check the NTP servers for functionality 
$ ntpdig 172.16.1.10 ; ntpdig 172.17.1.10
2025-03-20 08:22:21.264546 (+0100) -3.769277 +/- 0.001159 172.16.1.10 s3 no-leap
2025-03-20 08:22:21.312246 (+0100) -3.770774 +/- 0.000214 172.17.1.10 s4 no-leap

* Restart ntpsec and wait for resync


Result:

* Even after hours the ntpd is not synchronized

$ ntpstat
unsynchronised
   polling server every 1 s

$ ntpq -pn
     remote                                   refid      st t when poll reach

$

tcpdump shows a communication with "NTPv4, Client" and "NTPv3, Server"
which should not matter, because ntpv4 is supposed to be backward
compatible.

09:19:11.955253 IP 192.168.10.93.123 > 172.17.1.10.123: NTPv4, Client, length 48
