Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 135142
redhat-config-date and ntpd use different driftfile parameters
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:07:04 EST
Description of problem: It looks like ntpd was modified a while back to put its driftfile in /var/lib/ntp/drift instead of the original location of /etc/ntp/drift. Apparently this change hasn't made into ntp.template from redhat-config-date. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Red Hat Enterprise 3 2. Copy /etc/ntp.conf to /etc/ntp.conf.orig 3. Run redhat-config-date and setup NTP 4. Compare /etc/ntpd.conf with /etc/ntpd.conf.orig Actual Results: @@ -54,7 +54,7 @@ # by creating a temporary in the same directory and then rename()'ing # it to the file. # -driftfile /var/lib/ntp/drift +driftfile /etc/ntp/drift broadcastdelay 0.008 #
fixed in CVS
just to clarify: that is "CVS contains the same ntp.conf template as current ntp packages"
