Re: Bad NTP in Fedora repository?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



When I upgraded, it appears that the ntp daemon (ntpd) now runs as
user "ntp".  My old /etc/ntp.conf referenced a /etc/ntp.drift file that ntp
now couldn't write - ntp also wants to create a temp file in the driftfile directory.
The new redhat scheme has the driftfile at /var/lib/ntp/drift, with the
directory and file belonging to user ntp, group ntp.

Unless I'm reading "man rpm" incorrectly, does it seem there's a problem with the ntp rpm in the Fedora repository?

Changed /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date: forceInstall=1


22:20:55 # up2date --nox -u ......... Name Version Rel ------------------------------------ ntp 4.1.2 5 i386

Testing package set / solving RPM inter-dependencies...
########################################
ntp-4.1.2-5.i386.rpm:       ############# Done.

22:22:35 # rpm -qa | grep ntp-
ntp-4.1.2-5

22:22:55 # rpm -V ntp
S.5....T c /etc/ntp.conf
^^^^^^^^ This says that the rpm has the wrong size, MD5SUM, and Time no?

If this verification string is indicating only a difference in /etc/ntp.conf, why didn't it get replaced by specifying "forceInstall=1" above? No indication during the install was given to indicate ntp.conf either was, or was not, being replaced.
