What is the format for the ntp.conf "restrict" lines for ipv6
addresses?  I couldn't find it in the http "man" pages and these two
guesses both got gripes syslog-ed.

    restrict 2001:05a8:0004:07d0::/48
    restrict 2001:05a8:0004:07d0:: mask fffff:fffff:fffff:ffff0:0000:0000:0000:0000

What I have for you now is "Please see around line 1296 of ntp_config.c .

If you figure it out, please add something to:

 http://ntp.isc.org/bin/view/Support/AccessRestrictions

Fremont, eh?  I head over there a fair amount...

Funnily enough I had been looking at this last week and concluded that
the IPv6 restrict code needs work. I just didn't expect anyone to ask so
soon! :)

I don't have a direct answer but I suspect that you can't use anything
but an IPv4 netmask. I'd also like to add a /nn option to the restrict
lines so we can use the now pretty standard prefix length for these
lines for both IPv4 and IPv6. I was about to put out this suggestion to
hackers so I'm copying that mailimh list as well.
