Bug Description
Binary package hint: ntp
The network time protocol daemon incorrectly uses the 32bit legacy mode on a jaunty 64 bit install. Each kernel boot results in the following message being displayed to the kernel log:
Feb 12 03:05:03 PPP kernel: [ 19.470679] warning: `ntpd' uses 32-bit capabilities (legacy support in use)
nullack@PPP:~$ sudo apt-cache policy ntp

This isn't an i386/amd64 issue; it's that the linux kernel capabilities(7) data structure size was increased in 2.6.25 to 64 bits, but uses a versioned interface so that applications that haven't been updated to use the newer-sized structure will still operate correctly. (see the capset(2) and capabilities(7) manpages for details.)
