Can you try with "rlimit memlock -1" instead?  It seems "0" now
means everything, and -1 means no locking.

Ah, that would explain it. Changing it to -1 does work (I guess the default
config should be changed as well, and perhaps a NEWS.Debian entry for those
using modified configs?)

Bug#802638: ntpd fails to start with "Cannot find user ID 113"

Package: ntp
Version: 1:4.2.8p4+dfsg-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

As per subject. This may well be a duplicate of #793745, however:

- I am using the default ntp.conf shipped with the package, including the
  "rlimit memlock 0" line.

- Downgrading to 4.2.8p3+dfsg-1 fixes the problem.

So I am not sure this is the same underlying cause. Please downgrade/merge as
appropriate if I am wrong about this.
