I have tested it a bit; It prevents non-MSSNTP traffic from getting
sucked into ntp_signd and vanishing. Errors in ntp_singd generate an
error message or two. Hopefully, anyone tripping over this in the
future will help us debug it rather than just looking at the Samba
Wiki crapping on us and leaving.

Yes, #ifdefs contain all of it except for maybe_log() and struct
do_we_log, which I see as having potential uses besides ntp_signd.

I asked Matt Selsky to merge it in early August and am still waiting
to hear back.

Ah, let me rephrase: I have almost given up on them ever being
merged. MR 1325 has 48 patches in /patchsets. 11 are standalone
patches, and the rest are in 9 patch chains.
