           Summary: ntpd pid file problems

Two problems when ntpd runs chrooted (the default), causing 'rcntp stop' to not
stop the ntpd:

1- ntp rc script should not put the chroot prefix on the pid file path when
starting ntpd

I patched it like this:

--- ntp.10.1.orig       2006-12-21 11:43:15.000000000 -0500
+++ ntp.10.1.fixed      2006-12-21 11:43:22.000000000 -0500

        ;;
     stop)

2- the /var/run/ntp directory needs to be writable by root, since the ntpd
program creates the pid file before changing its UID to 'ntp'.  However the
/var/run/ntp dir got created, it was owned by ntp:ntp, with perms 0755.

I changed it to 777 and now I get a pid file at startup and 'rcntp stop' works.
 I'm not sure that's the right fix, so I'll file this report and let you guys
figure it out.

Thanks.
