NTP error (solution)
Posted: Tue Jul 08, 2014 8:04 pm
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.
