After update of ntp to 4.2.6.p5-4, I get the following log entries:
Mar 1 09:55:50 archangel ntpd[1180]: frequency file /var/lib/ntp/ntp.drift.TEMP: Permission denied
Checking password and group, there is a ntp for each. Should the UIG:GID for /var/lib/ntp be ntp:ntp?
Up to version 4.2.6.p5-3 the ntpd process ran as root. No it runs as the "ntp" user. [1][2] The files created by ntpd back then are owned by root. But now they are unable to be accessed by the ntp user. A simple "chown -R ntp /var/lib/ntp" should do the trick.
