Comment 3 for bug 1125726

We're seeing a possibly related problem on first boot, with more painful consequences. Our install process does a puppet run in the late_command, and then a reboot, and then another puppet run happens on boot.

In that first boot to the installed system, we're seeing ntp start once and fail, reporting that it cannot bind UDP *.ntp, and then it doesn't run at all. This is different from the symptom I noticed above. I agree that bug 246203 was a real bug with the old way; that certainly explains why simply using the same lock file will not be good.
