I run SuSE Pro 9.0, all ntp default settings. In the ntp log, I constantly see this:
26 Mar 08:46:30 ntpd[12441]: can't open /var/lib/ntp/drift/ntp.drift.TEMP: No such file or directory

I'm experiencing the same thing, and the fix described in the above-referenced message, seems to have worked. The fix, BTW, is to symlink /var/lib/ntp/var/lib/ntp to ../.. (instead of ../.). In other words, if running this: ls -l /var/lib/ntp shows this (file date is unimportant; link target is): lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2004-03-16 12:46 ntp -> ../. Then, as superuser, run this: ln -s --force --no-dereference ../.. /var/lib/ntp/var/lib/ntp It's disappointing that this bug was reported on a SuSE mailing list at least four months ago and they have not fixed it. Have they even published the fact that this bug exists? How can I search their bug tracking database? -- Phil Mocek
