Hi! Bug #593429 does not explain very well why the severity is serious. From my understanding, the reason is just bug #306106. Why not just set the severity of bug #306106 to serious?
Bug #593429 was created on August 2010. Last update of bug #306106 is September 2007. It contains an URL to a patch. The patch seems to be available here: http://dtucker.freeshell.org/openntpd/patches/openntpd-3.6.1p1-linux-adjtimex.patch There is no explanation on why this patch does not solve #306106. It does not apply cleanly to current openntpd 3.9p1. Maybe there is some updated version? openntpd is working fine for me. Does #306106 still applies to current openntpd versions? Can we tell in what conditions it is not able to synchronize correctly? If those conditions are pretty rare, maybe the severity could be important instead of serious. I personnaly prefer to use openntpd instead of ntpd because of its security record (no security hole according to Debian security tracker vs 6 security holes in ntpd) and its cleaner and simple design. -- THE BOYS ROOM IS NOT A WATER PARK THE BOYS ROOM IS NOT A WATER PARK THE BOYS ROOM IS NOT A WATER PARK -+- Bart Simpson on chalkboard in episode 3F03
