Default path to driftfile is "/etc/ntp.drift", that doesn't work since
ntp daemon is always started with "ntp" user. It should be created at
the home directory of "ntp" which is "/var/lib/ntp/".
Could you provide a bit more detail on why this "doesn't work"? Does it
violate the FHS, or complicate securing an image, or...?
I see that Debian apparently puts the file in /var/lib/ntp.
I certainly don't object to the change, but "doesn't work" suggests this
patch fixes a functional bug, not an inconsistency with policy. More
detail in the commit message will help us occasional contributors
understand how things are supposed to be done and why.
Sorry for the confusions, the "doesn't work" means ntp user can't create
driftfile under "/etc".
The fix refer to other distributions, just move driftfile to "/var/lib/ntp".
Thanks

Thanks.
