Weird! I did not expect that. I had a look at the source code, but I get no clue what it can _really_ mean. And the documentations does not mention that error, I grepped for it.

If it was windows i'd say it was trying to send a filename of a length not acceptable to send (too long). Alternately are you trying to send a filename with an unacceptable character in the name (there are a few such as the Null)? Many firewalls and ISP's won't pass these as they allow filehiding.
We are talking of the ntpd clock update protocol and daemon. The OP is not sending any file at all, and we have no idea what file the log is referring to.
Just a thought.. what should the access and ownership be of the /etc/ntp.conf? pia:~ # ls -l /etc/ntp.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2106 Nov 6 18:31 /etc/ntp.conf -- Bjørge Solli
