Package: openntpd Version: 3.9p1-4 Severity: minor If there is a line in /etc/openntpd/ntpd.conf that has a backslash followed by whitespace on a line that is a comment, the following occurs:
ren:~# echo \# \\ foo >> /etc/openntpd/ntpd.conf ren:~# /etc/init.d/openntpd start Starting openntpd: /etc/openntpd/ntpd.conf:19: whitespace after \ ren:~# echo $? 1 ren:~# ps auxw | grep [n]tp ren:~# And of course, after removing the backslashes, OpenNTPD starts fine. I would expect that a syntax error on a line that is a comment should not prevent OpenNTPD from starting. Not serious or anything, obviously, but still rather irritating. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-1-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages openntpd depends on: ii adduser 3.104 add and remove users and groups ii libc6 2.6-5 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8e-5 SSL shared libraries openntpd recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
