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
==============================================================================

+dns1.dns.imagin 87.32.0.19       3 u  923 1024  377   43.817   42.790  12.233
*ntp1.karneval.c 147.231.19.43    2 u 1014 1024  377   58.368   45.618  13.533
+93.113.2.250    80.96.120.249    2 u  882 1024  377   77.453   36.632  15.201
```

So must be related to IPv6 addresses shown:

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

**Solution** - ignore. I \*hate\* ignoring errors.
