Which version of xntpd are you running? We never saw this message until we
upgraded to xntp3-5.91 and then only after switching to 2.0.32 (when the
kernel code changed). I asked the author about this message and he said
that it is harmless, but my experience tells me otherwise. The other thing
I would ask you is whether the machines on which you are running xntpd are
SMP or not. I think that the problem I am experiencing with xntpd may be
SMP specific.

We do enable multicasting in the kernel, but do not run gated.
