Package: ntp-server Version: 1:4.2.0a+stable-6 Severity: normal Hi,
Since upgrading to ntp-server 4.2.0a+stable-6, I'm getting a lot of log messages of the form Mar 17 05:02:29 arcturus ntpd[2887]: couldn't unlink /var/log/ntpstats/peerstats: Permission denied Mar 17 05:02:29 arcturus ntpd[2887]: can't open /var/log/ntpstats/peerstats.20050317: Permission denied I suspect the problem is that ntpd is called from /etc/init.d/ntp-server as: start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pidfile /var/run/ntpd.pid --exec /usr/sbin/ntpd -- -p /var/run/ntpd.pid -u $UGID The last flag, "-u $UGID", I believe should instead be "-c $UGID". See "man start-stop-daemon". Also, I think (relevant to bug #299904) that the last command if "restart" is passed as $1 should be identical to that if $1 is "start". -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: powerpc (ppc) Kernel: Linux 2.6.8-powerpc Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages ntp-server depends on: ii ntp 1:4.2.0a+stable-6 Network Time Protocol: network uti ii ntp-simple 1:4.2.0a+stable-6 Network Time Protocol: daemon for -- no debconf information regards, -- Kevin B.
