The problem in the manual is different. You do not have any access 
control in your server, your server is worldwide open to other people 
changing your runtime configuration etc. (as it seems from your conf file)

 From ntp handbook page!
----
If you only want to allow machines within your own network to 
synchronize their clocks with your server, but ensure they are not 
allowed to configure the server or used as peers to synchronize against, add

restrict 192.168.1.0 mask 255.255.255.0 notrust nomodify notrap
----

But if you use notrust in this line no clients are able to connect. I am 
not sure why. That is why I asked about an ntpd pro having a look.

Thanks,
