From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:0.9.4.1) Gecko/20020508 Netscape6/6.2.3 Description of problem: As a security fix for NTP, the daemon wishes to own the directory in which the drift file is placed. The drift file as create by dhcpcd is /etc/ntp.drift. NTP prefers something like /etc/ntp/drift where /etc/ntp can be owned by ntp. This interaction of two products is unfortunate but the problem truly lies with dhcpcd rather than ntp since dhcpcd creates the file name and provides no method for altering the name short of editting the source for dhcpcd. I have made this change to the sources and ntp correctly starts for me. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Configure system to "Automatically obtain IP address settings with: dhcp 2. Configure dhcp server to offer NTP server "option ntp-servers" Actual Results: dhcpcd writes /etc/ntp.conf file with driftfile entry /etc/ntp.drift and ntpd fails to start. Expected Results: dhcpcd should write /etc/ntp.conf file with driftfile entry /etc/ntp/drift Additional info: The added security for ntpd is admirable but it should be synced with dhcpcd...
