You would need to ask Juniper that....

Dovid,

Thanks, and I'm kinda stunned that folks are running such ancient
versions of NTP.

https://support.ntp.org/bin/view/Dev/ReleaseTimeline

4.2.0 was EOL'd in June of 2006, and we've fixed about 3,000 issues in
the codebase since then.

I'm trying to build a list of the versions of NTP that are in active

on various active pieces of network gear.

I know that Cisco, for example, uses NTP in around 10 different product
lines, but I don't know what versions of NTP are in current use.

I'm also curious about the answers here for Juniper and other network
gear providers.  That would include routers, switches, and other types
of gear.

If you have information about this I'd appreciate your letting me know.
