[lug] Time sync w/xntp

[Gary Hodges]

I'm having some trouble with xntpd.  I'm getting the following errors in 
/var/log/ntp

25 Nov 13:28:17 ntpd[28079]: can't open 
/var/lib/ntp/drift/ntp.drift.TEMP: No such file or directory

In the /etc/ntp.conf file I have the following line

driftfile /var/lib/ntp/drift/ntp.drift  # path for drift file

While googling I saw a note that indicated I should touch the driftfile 
first.  I did that and then I also touched ntp.drift.TEMP as well, but I 
still get those errors.

moon1:/var/lib/ntp/drift # ls -l
total 0
drwxr-xr-x    2 ntp      nogroup       112 2003-11-25 09:43 .
drwxr-xr-x    5 root     root          120 2003-11-18 11:55 ..
-rw-r--r--    1 ntp      nogroup         0 2003-11-25 09:20 ntp.drift
-rw-r--r--    1 ntp      nogroup         0 2003-11-25 09:43 ntp.drift.TEMP

I just tried changing the ownership and group for the two drift files 
from root to what it is above and I get the same results.
