Dhcpcd writes wrong path to ntp.drift file in ntp.conf

[Kakel]

Dhcpcd writes the following line to /etc/ntp.conf:

driftfile /etc/ntp.drift

In Ubuntu 5.05, ntpd runs as user ntp and thus lacks permission to create the specified file

Dhcpcd writes the following line to /etc/ntp.conf:

driftfile /etc/ntp.drift

In Ubuntu 5.05, ntpd runs as user ntp and thus lacks permission to create the specified file. Write permission in the directory is necessary as ntpd regularly creates a new file ntp.drift.TEMP and then moves it to ntp.drift.

This may be solved by letting dhcpcd write the line in accordance to Ubuntu's default configuration:

driftfile /var/lib/ntp/ntp.drift

Karl, I'm confused. You marked 789 a dupe of this one, but you left an open task on 789 and rejected the one here. Why?

[Kakel (kakel)]

I submitted the same bug twice by mistake, so I marked one of them as a duplicate. But I don't know why this bug was rejected. It was done by Corey Burger, if I read correctly.

[Corey Burger (corey.burger)]

I rejected the bug as I didn't know that malone now had dup support, but didn't want to mark the bug as fixed (as it isn't)

This bug is well over 1 year old. Does this problem still exist? Thank you.

Hi, there was no response from the original reporter, I will therefore reject this bug, please reopen it, if the problem still exists
