 |
|
I've run ntpd for ages on two machines with no trouble. Today, the daemon dies if I run ntpq. The daemon can be seen running using ps for as long as I like, but immediately after running ntpq it dies with no output to any log that I can see..
| Code: | bacall root # /etc/init.d/ntpd start
* Starting ntpd... [ ok ]
bacall root # ps aux | grep ntp
ntp 2335 0.1 1.5 3872 3868 ? SLs 12:52 0:00 /usr/bin/ntpd -p /var/run/ntpd.pid -u ntp:ntp
root 2341 0.0 0.1 1440 480 pts/0 S+ 12:52 0:00 grep ntp
bacall root # ps aux | grep ntp
ntp 2335 0.0 1.5 3872 3868 ? SLs 12:52 0:00 /usr/bin/ntpd -p /var/run/ntpd.pid -u ntp:ntp
root 2366 0.0 0.1 1440 480 pts/0 S+ 12:53 0:00 grep ntp
bacall root # ntpq -p
remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter
==============================================================================
ntpq: read: Connection refused
bacall root # ps aux | grep ntp
root 2383 0.0 0.1 1440 480 pts/0 S+ 12:53 0:00 grep ntp
bacall root # /etc/init.d/ntpd stop
* Stopping ntpd...
start-stop-daemon: warning: failed to kill 2335: No such process
1 pids were not killed
No process in pidfile `/var/run/ntpd.pid' found running; none killed.
* Failed to stop ntpd |
Any ideas on this? I've checked my config (unchanged from when it used to work fine) and haven't re-emerged ntp for some time either.
Cheers,

how often does that happen - you post to a forum, then immediately find the answer to the question you've been tearing your hair out over 
Looks like at some point /var/log/ntp.log had been recreated. User ntp had no permission to write to it. chown ntp:ntp /var/log/ntp.log && /etc/init.d/ntpd restart solved it.
Cheers

At least, you didn't post for nothing. This was the solution to the problem I've been trying to solve for a few weeks now.
Thanks man for the bright idea. |
