           Summary: Missing newline makes
                    /etc/cron.d/novell.ntp-synchronize not work
    Classification: openSUSE
           Product: openSUSE 11.3
           Version: Final
          Platform: i586

After selecting "Synchronize without Daemon" on the YaST2 "Advanced NTP
Configuration", I noticed my notebook's clock was not being correctly
synchronized. The problem turned out to be a missing newline at the end of

-*/5 * * * * root /etc/init.d/ntp ntptimeset &>/dev/null

in /etc/cron.d/novell.ntp-synchronize. I presume this file is created by YaST2,
since "rpm -f" says it is not owned by any package.

Adding the newline fixed the problem and the clock is now properly synchronized
every five minutes.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select "Synchronize without Daemon" on the YaST2 "Advanced NTP
Configuration".

Actual Results:  
The clock is not synchronized.

Expected Results:  
The clock should be synchronized by cron every so many minutes (five, by
default).

Besides selecting "Synchronize without Daemon", my only other action was to add
NTP server br.pool.ntp.org, though that probably has nothing to do with the
missing newline.
