I've just upgraded my sid system and now have a log full of ...

The latest file is -rw-r--r-- 2 ntp ntp 40957 Mar 16 20:01 /var/log/ntpstats/peerstats.20050316 Did the upgrade change the permissions/ownerships of these files appropriately for no-root processes ? -rw-r--r-- 2 ntp ntp 40957 Mar 16 20:01 /var/log/ntpstats/peerstats looks ok, but ls: /var/log/ntpstats/peerstats.20050323: No such file or directory The process still seems to be running as root, yet seems to have been restarted as expected : root 22969 0.0 0.3 3964 3964 ? SLs 18:33 0:00 /usr/sbin/ntpd -p /var/run/ntpd.pid Figuring out why a process running as root can't get at /var/log/ntpstats/peerstats is beyond my skills. regards Mark -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
