I agree 100% with what Russell told us. Those two binaries shouldn't be in /usr/bin. At least debian and redhat places them in /usr/sbin where they belong.

on the funny side, just search '/usr/bin/ntpd' and '/usr/sbin/ntpd' in google: 77 vs 2140

ok, i guess i (foolishly) assumed it was done on purpose and not because people
can complain loudly :)

i'll have to tweak the openntpd/ntpd relationship, but i'll make this change

4.2.0.20040617 now installs into sbin

/etc/init.d/ntpd still refers to /usr/bin

Perhaps add some sed magic so changing it in ${FILESDIR} doesn't break the old
versions that haven't moved it...

yes, I can confirm, that the init-script still tries to start /usr/bin/ntpd
instead of /usr/sbin/ntpd. Should be easy to fix. ;-)

that was handled by another bug
