Seriously, just fix your configuration. The part of NTP being abused is completely unrelated to actually synchronizing time. It's a management query, that has no real reason to be enabled remotely. You don't even need to resort to iptables for this, because NTPD has built in rate limiting (which isn't enabled for management queries, but those are trivial to disable). Thanks for the tip, monitoring is off. I was under the impression that rate-limiting hadn't made it into a stable version of ntpd yet. Is that incorrect?
