Description Jonathan Kamens 2012-05-15 14:42:39 UTC

This link is included in the ntp RPM:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Apr 29 22:10 /lib/systemd/system/systemd-timedated-ntp.target.wants/ntpd.service -> ../ntpd.service

It shouldn't be. Rather, there should be the line in /lib/systemd/system/ntpd.service in the [Install] section:

WantedBy=systemd-timedated-ntp.target

This makes it impossible to fully disable ntpd.

See also bug 821813 for a similar problem in chrony.

Let's see if the discussion in bug 821813 results in any alternative solutions.

This seems to be addressed in systemd.
