The rest is partially irrelevant, partially redundant and potentially outdated (bsc#942587). - Remove "kod" from the restrict line in ntp.conf (bsc#944300). - Use SHA1 instead of MD5 for symmetric keys (bsc#905885). - Require perl-Socket6 (bsc#942441). - Fix incomplete backporting of "rcntp ntptimemset".
