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. -Bob Arendt

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

22:22:35 # 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.
