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.
