ntpd on bond0 syslog error

Written by Peter Davies on .

Spotted the following repeated on several server's that had bonded network interfaces:

Nov 26 10:31:09 server1 ntpd[10795]: bind() fd 26, family 10, port 123, scope 5, addr fe80::4ef0:47ff:fe04:3b07, in6_is_addr_multicast=0 flags=0x11 fails: Cannot assign reque$
Nov 26 10:31:09 server1 ntpd[10795]: unable to create socket on bond0 (607) for fe80::4ef0:47ff:fe04:3b07#123
Nov 26 10:31:09 server1 ntpd[10795]: failed to initialize interface for address fe80::4ef0:47ff:fe04:3b07

Interesting though that it has synced correctly:

server1:/var/log# ntpq -p
     remote           refid      st t when poll reach   delay   offset  jitter

So must be related to IPv6 addresses shown:

inet6 fe80::4ef0:47ff:fe04:3b07/64 scope link tentative

Solution - ignore. I *hate* ignoring errors.
