can you please test these packages? [...] but please remind - these are only testing packages without warranty.
Of course ... Hm, I've uninstalled the old xntp* packages, and removed all config files. Then installed the new ones from the links you gave me (fine that they are now called ntp* rather than xntp*, BTW). Looking into ntp.conf I saw that servers should now be configured using "rcntp addserver", and would be saved in /etc/ntp.server, so I ran "rcntp addserver 0.pool.ntp.org". At this time ntpd was not yet running, so I got an error sysing "ntpdc: read: connection refused". Maybe the rcntp script should check whether ntpd is running before calling ntpdc. Then I started ntpd by entering "rcntp start", and tried to add another pool server by typing "rcntp addserver 1.pool.ntp.org". Though the server entry was added to ntp.servers, I got an error message saying "***Permission denied", and the output of "ntpq -p" indicated that ntpd did not use those servers but only local clock. Permission problems made me think of apparmor, so I stopped apparmor and then tried to add a 3rd pool server. This worked correctly, and the 3rd pool server was displayed in the "ntpq -p" billboard. So the apparmor rules need to be modified. After reboot apparmor was running again, and I saw an "audit:" entry concerning permission problems with "ntp.keys" in the syslog. I'm assuming this entry has been created by apparmor. After I had disabled apparmor permanently the "audit:" message did not appear anymore in the syslog after reboot. Unfortunately neither after "rcntp restart" nor after stopping/starting ntpd the pool servers were being used, and also after a reboot I only saw the localclock listed as used by ntpd. BTW, maybe "rcntp status" could also show the output of "ntpq -p", like this is done by other rc scripts? I also tried to configure the pool servers using yast, but obviously this also needs some modifications in order to read from and save the configured servers to ntp.server. So I think a few small corrections are still required. If I should do more testing, just let me know.
