From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030613 Description of problem: Suppose /etc/ntp/step-tickers contains a list of servers identical to those in /etc/ntp.conf results in the startup script adding all of them to the firewall rules should the firewall be enabled. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ntp-4.1.2-1.rc3.1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. put same set of ntp servers addresses in /etc/ntp.conf and /etc/ntp/step-tickers 2. service ntpd restart 3. watch and see Actual Results: Everything added twice Expected Results: Each server should only be added once Additional info: Doesn't have a functionality impact just adds firewall lines and is cosmetic at startup. I believe sort | uniq might work...?
Created attachment 92461 [details] Patch which seems to fix the problem exhibited by old init script This seems to fix it on my laptop at least... ;-)
thx... "sort -u" should do the same as sort | uniq
