Description:   Opened: 2005-08-25 09:48 0000 
When starting xntpd with the -u option and specifying the group 
by using a string not a numeric gid the daemon uses the gid of 
the user not the group. 
 
reproduce: 
        # rcxntpd start  
        # ps -C ntpd -o comm,pid,ruser,euser,rgroup,egroup 
        verify given and real IDs

Voting NO too, I can't see this being provoked and/or exploited in any way.
