Bug Description
Binary package hint: ntp
Current version of ntp (4.2.4p6+
This extension is needed by Windows workstation in order to trust ntp source from AD server.
Lately the Samba project made great improvement in the next version of Samba: Samba4 which is supposed to be a real replacement to Microsoft Active Directory. In order to act completely as an Domain Controller the Samba4 server must be able to act as a ntp server with the MS SNTP extension.
Version 4.2.6 of ntp (released on 12/12/09) now include patches for allowing this extension but must be complied specifically with the option --enable-ntp-signd to effectively build this extension.
Building this extension do not mean that it wil be active by default, in fact it has to be opted in by adding the following directive to
ntp.conf:
restrict foobar mssntp
Where foobar is either default or a network address.

I have run across this problem before. I suspect enough information has been included in this bug report to confirm this bug. If a developer or more experienced triager believes otherwise then they may adjust the status accordingly and ask for additional information.
Thanks for reporting this bug and any supporting documentation. Since this bug has enough information provided for a developer to begin work, I'm going to mark it as confirmed and let them handle it from here. Thanks for taking the time to make Ubuntu better!
