For example, the warnings are like this: Dec 11 15:14:07 node1 ntpd[3521]: can't open /etc/ntp/drift.TEMP: Permission denied Dec 11 16:14:10 node1 ntpd[3521]: can't open /etc/ntp/drift.TEMP: Permission denied This only happens when the owner of /etc/ntp is not 'ntp', the ntpds seem to be still working. However these messages would overwhelm the log file on the master node. Mugster reported that it was okay on ntp-4.1.2-0.rc1.2 (FC2), therefore I suspect that the /etc/ntp uid:gid somehow got changed after a certain system update (yum update). A quick fix to avoid these warning messages would be: 1. # cexec "chown ntp:ntp /etc/ntp" 2. # chown ntp:ntp /var/lib/systemimager/images/oscarimage/etc/ ntp Any patch on OSCAR scripts/post_rpm_install is welcomed. ;-) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Bernard Li (bernardli) Date: 2004-12-13 14:40 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=879102 With FC2, the drift file should be at /var/lib/ntp (which is correctly owned by ntp user). The provided ntp.conf by OSCAR is wrong. The ntpconfig package needs to be updated to reflect this (possibly a problem with RHEL too?)
