Would you mind reviewing this patch and telling me if it provides the same functionality as yours did? http://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/net-misc/openntpd/files/openntpd-20080406-pidfile.patch >> If you consider this to be a wrong assessment, I'll be happy to receive >> a refreshed patch > Ok.

There has just been a update to Wheezy, 7.3, so I presume backports might provide a faster way to update it. If It works, I will happily port this, as I'm preparing an upload for another unrelated patch (DNS Timeout resolution) for a stable-backports package and see what the release team might thing about the stable candidate one. Does it work? Cheers, Dererk -- BOFH excuse #229: wrong polarity of neutron flow
