NTP error (solution)

Noted these errors in log:

7 Jul 23:43:27 ntpd[2480]: frequency file /var/spool/ntp.drift.TEMP: Permission denied

Solution was to edit /etc/ntp.conf

Changed the following line:

#driftfile /var/spool/ntp.drift
driftfile /var/lib/ntp/ntp.drift

Now the drift file is correctly written to /var/lib/ntp/ntp.drift and no more errors in log.
