hello - i am testing out the new ntpd that was committed

into an issue with the rc script tho - it's complaining about
multiple

$ sudo /etc/rc.d/ntpd start

has anyone else seen this issue? not sure if this is an issue
with my
local config or not, i've read through the rc script and its not
obvious
to me yet why it may be getting multiple pid arguments passed.
the only
relevant bit i have set in rc.conf is:
$ grep ntpd /etc/rc.conf
ntpd_enable="YES"
thanks!

You say you created an ntpd user/group, that seems to imply you
didn't
run mergemaster (which would have done that). If that's the case,
you
probably also didn't get /etc/defaults/rc.conf updated, so it still
has
the old ntpd_flags that includes the pidfile (which is now provided
by
the startup script and shouldn't be set in ntpd_flags).
If all of that is the wrong guess, let me know and we'll figure it
out.
that's Ian - that's most likely it (defaults/rc.conf). i did run
mergemaster but i suspect i didn't run it correctly b/c it didn't
copy
over any files, nor create the ntpd uid/gid. my buildworld script
does
a "mergemaster -m $CHECKOUT -a". i'll re-read the man page today
and
update my scripts accordingly.
thanks again for the bread-crumb!

There's a "pre-world" stage of mergemaster (-Fp option I think) which
isn't needed often, but one of the times it is needed is apparently
when new user ids are added. (So I've been told, I've never much used
mergemaster myself). I think there are some words about it at the very
bottom of UPDATING.
so i was running the "pre-world" mergemaster, but i think what bit me
was relying on the "-a" switch. after reading UPDATING as you suggested
i re-ran mergemaster like so:
"sudo mergemaster -m $CHECKOUT -rvF"
which seems closer in-line with the documentation. i had a ton of stuff
missing, which would explain some funky behaviour i've seen in regards
to devd, so glad i sorted this out.
as someone RW mentions later in this thread, it would be sweet if
mergemaster could auto add users/groups. i missed this in the diff
during my pre-installworld mergemaster run. easily fixed - but def
something i'll have to keep my eye out for.
cheers,
