Issue: Nessus has identified all my CENTOS servers with this vulnerability Network Time Protocol NTP Mode 6 Scanner (97861)
OS: 6.1
Tech Note from Redhat: https://access.redhat.com/solutions/690293
Instructions I followed: I changed the /etc/ntp.conf to
restrict default kod nomodify notrap nopeer noquery
restrict -6 default kod nomodify notrap nopeer noquery

This appears to NOT have solved the issue. Any advice on what would make this NTP mode 6 vulnerability go away?
