:Thanks, and I'm kinda stunned that folks are running such ancient
:versions of NTP.
I suggest you get accustomed to being stunned. =20

:4.2.0 was EOL'd in June of 2006, and we've fixed about 3,000 issues in
:the codebase since then.
4.2.0 may have been EOL'd in 2006, but it was still shipping as the
default in FreeBSD until 2009.=20
Out of those 3000 issues, only a tiny fraction are security-related
that would apply to JunOS. I expect that they backport security and
other fixes as necessary, until some bigger engineering effort and|or
headache calls for a forklift/mass upgrade of things.
