I don't think so. stintel is a LEDE developer and I'm quite sure his busybox patch is already backported to LEDE (or busybox updated to version which includes the fix).

But I'm sure the issue you are seeing is the expected behaviour. It makes sense to me to not reply to client requests as long as ntpd can't be sure that the current (machine) time is valid.

I haven't closed this ticket yet, since I did not had the time to check the busybox source code.

Would one of you so kind to ask on the [[https://busybox.net/lists.html|Busybox mailing list]] if it's a bug (perhaps a LEDE one) or if it is the expected behaviour.
