Package: ntp Version: 1:4.2.6.p5+dfsg-2 Severity: normal Tags: upstream Dear Maintainer,
When using interface names as arguments to the interface configuration command, as the man page for ntp.conf says, ntpd chokes, giving the following output in the log file, and proceeds to open no interfaces individually, but instead listens on *:123 Log output: Jun 24 21:34:09 bleys ntpd[30696]: ntpd 4.2.6p5@1.2349-o Sat May 12 09:54:55 UTC 2012 (1) Jun 24 21:34:09 bleys ntpd[30697]: proto: precision = 0.105 usec Jun 24 21:34:09 bleys ntpd[30697]: line 26 column 23 syntax error, unexpected T_String, expecting T_EOC Jun 24 21:34:09 bleys ntpd[30697]: syntax error in /etc/ntp.conf line 26, column 23 Jun 24 21:34:09 bleys ntpd[30697]: line 27 column 23 syntax error, unexpected T_String, expecting T_EOC Jun 24 21:34:09 bleys ntpd[30697]: syntax error in /etc/ntp.conf line 27, column 23 Jun 24 21:34:09 bleys ntpd[30697]: line 28 column 22 syntax error, unexpected T_String, expecting T_EOC Jun 24 21:34:09 bleys ntpd[30697]: syntax error in /etc/ntp.conf line 28, column 22 Jun 24 21:34:09 bleys ntpd[30697]: Listen normally on 0 v4wildcard 0.0.0.0 UDP 123 Jun 24 21:34:09 bleys ntpd[30697]: Listen and drop on 1 v6wildcard :: UDP 123 Jun 24 21:34:09 bleys ntpd[30697]: Listen normally on 2 lo 127.0.0.1 UDP 123 Jun 24 21:34:09 bleys ntpd[30697]: Listen normally on 3 lo ::1 UDP 123 Jun 24 21:34:09 bleys ntpd[30697]: peers refreshed Jun 24 21:34:09 bleys ntpd[30697]: Listening on routing socket on fd #20 for interface updates -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.1 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages ntp depends on: ii adduser 3.113+nmu3 ii dpkg 1.16.10 ii libc6 2.13-38 ii libcap2 1:2.22-1.2 ii libedit2 2.11-20080614-5 ii libopts25 1:5.12-0.1 ii libssl1.0.0 1.0.1e-2 ii lsb-base 4.1+Debian8+deb7u1 ii netbase 5.0 Versions of packages ntp recommends: ii perl 5.14.2-21 Versions of packages ntp suggests: ii ntp-doc 1:4.2.6.p5+dfsg-2 -- Configuration Files: /etc/init.d/ntp changed: PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin . /lib/lsb/init-functions DAEMON=/usr/sbin/ntpd PIDFILE=/var/run/ntpd.pid test -x $DAEMON || exit 5 if [ -r /etc/default/ntp ]; then . /etc/default/ntp fi if [ -e /var/lib/ntp/ntp.conf.dhcp ]; then NTPD_OPTS="$NTPD_OPTS -c /var/lib/ntp/ntp.conf.dhcp" fi LOCKFILE=/var/lock/ntpdate lock_ntpdate() { if [ -x /usr/bin/lockfile-create ]; then lockfile-create $LOCKFILE lockfile-touch $LOCKFILE & LOCKTOUCHPID="$!" fi } unlock_ntpdate() { if [ -x /usr/bin/lockfile-create ] ; then kill $LOCKTOUCHPID lockfile-remove $LOCKFILE fi } RUNASUSER=ntp UGID=$(getent passwd $RUNASUSER | cut -f 3,4 -d:) || true if test "$(uname -s)" = "Linux"; then NTPD_OPTS="$NTPD_OPTS -u $UGID" fi case $1 in start) log_daemon_msg "Starting NTP server" "ntpd" if [ -z "$UGID" ]; then log_failure_msg "user \"$RUNASUSER\" does not exist" exit 1 fi lock_ntpdate start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --oknodo --pidfile $PIDFILE --startas $DAEMON -- -p $PIDFILE $NTPD_OPTS status=$? unlock_ntpdate log_end_msg $status mutt root -s "don't forget to fix ntp" <<-HERE run /etc/ntp.keys/fix-ntp-servers.sh You will have to enter the password for each server. This is because of the roundrobin DNS for pool.ntp.debian.org. But you knew that! Clients won't sync until this is done. Dovecot might die when ntp syncs. Thankyouverymuch.
