  script_tag(name:"insight", value:"ntp was updated to version 4.2.8p6 to fix 28 security issues.

  Major functional changes:

  - The 'sntp' commandline tool changed its option handling in a major way,
  some options have been renamed or dropped.

  - 'controlkey 1' is added during update to ntp.conf to allow sntp to work.

  - The local clock is being disabled during update.

  - ntpd is no longer running chrooted.

  Other functional changes:

  - ntp-signd is installed.

  - 'enable mode7' can be added to the configuration to allow ntdpc to work
  as compatibility mode option.

  - 'kod' was removed from the default restrictions.

  - SHA1 keys are used by default instead of MD5 keys.

  Also yast2-ntp-client was updated to match some sntp syntax changes.
