Description Olaf Fraczyk 2004-07-04 00:07:06 UTC

Description of problem:
The /etc/ntp directory is owned and writable only by root.
But the ntpd daemon is run as "ntp" user and cannot save drift.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ntp-4.2.0-7

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run ntpd daemon
2. watch the /var/log/messages you will see:
Jul  3 10:56:52 venus ntpd[1706]: can't open /etc/ntp/drift.TEMP:
Permission denied

OR 
1. ls -ld /etc/ntp

  
Actual results:
user ntp is unable to write to /etc/ntp/

Expected results:
user ntp has permission to write to /etc/ntp/

/var/lib/ntp is the place to store the driftfile,
change your config file, please... (see ntp.conf.rpm{new,save})
