And upgrade them.
Some software distributors don=E2=80=99t ship modern software. if you
are using a distribution packaged ntpd it=E2=80=99s likely old and
difficult to determine its lineage due to how it=E2=80=99s packaged.
If you=E2=80=99re using Redhat based systems consider using chrony=20
instead, even the new beta fedora 24 uses 4.2.6 derived code
vs 4.2.8
