serving: document opening 123/udp on the host firewall for the NTP server
The ntp service is host-networked, so (like the audit collector's 514/tcp) Docker doesn't open the port — the serving host's own ufw/firewalld governs 123/udp. Without a rule, workstations are handed 192.168.50.10 as their NTP server via DHCP opt 42 but their packets are dropped: chrony logs 'Added source … / unreachable' and never syncs (seen on comet-beacon-54). Add the boot-LAN firewall rule to the ntp service NOTE, mirroring the audit-collector README.
