But doesn't the JunOS ntpd read/parse ntpd.conf? It's worth getting to the admin mode shell prompt and taking a poke around /etc.
You can get access to the shell and edit the daemon configuration files yourself, but based on similar tactics for other areas of Junos (including things like Cron) that some operators have done, it is with reasonable reliability that any custom changes will not persist through software upgrades. So either you add this to the to-do list each time you upgrade code, or get Juniper to fix it natively (since it is now fixed in FreeBSD). In fairness, I haven't tried to muck about with the Junos FreeBSD shell to do this, partly for the reasons above, mostly because my life is already interesting enough :-). If someone else has and can provide a different perspective, please do. Mark.
