OK, better wildcards next time. :)

Still, the applications shown on this page don't convince me that this 
setting is appropriate for the default configuration.  It could be 
useful for time servers, but our default configuration is for time 
clients.  As the bug says, there is little point in synchronizing your 
own clock to your own clock, if you're not providing time service to 
others.
