Hello,

I am running openntpd on several machines, one of which has /usr mounted as read only. Openntpd wants to create it's socket file in /usr/var/run and can't, thus it fails to start. I was unable to find a configuration option to change this location to /run, where it seems like it should be.

Is there a way to change this somewhere that I missed? Or is this a bug that needs to be filed?

Thank you Squall

Hi, A quick investigation tells you should add this option to the ./configure script (in the PKGBUILD): --localstatedir=/var Or /run, as you wish. Default one in the current PKGBUILD is /usr/var. From the `help`: --localstatedir=DIR modifiable single-machine data [PREFIX/var] Sincerely, -- - Thiago Perrotta http://thiagowfx.github.io/
