Package: ntp-server
Version: 1:4.2.0a-11
Severity: minor
File: /etc/init.d/ntp-server
The FLAGS variable isn't used when starting ntp. Which is just as
well because they are set to "defaults 23", which ntpd wouldn't be
happy about. So I think FLAGS should be set to nothing instead:
FLAGS=
and then the invocation in the start) portion should be:
start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pidfile /var/run/ntpd.pid
--exec /usr/sbin/ntpd -- -p /var/run/ntpd.pid $FLAGS
Am I missing something about why it's written as it is?
