Description Tom Kiermaier 2004-02-16 12:40:58 UTC 
With the default options in /etc/conf.d/ntpd, ntpd 4.2.0 will not start. The -U argument seems to be gone. I get this when I try to start it:
raptor conf.d # /etc/init.d/ntpd start
 * Starting ntpd...
/usr/bin/ntpd: unknown option -U
usage: /usr/bin/ntpd [ -abdgmnqx ] [ -c config_file ] [ -e e_delay ]
                [ -f freq_file ] [ -k key_file ] [ -l log_file ]
                [ -p pid_file ] [ -r broad_delay ] [ -s statdir ]
                [ -t trust_key ] [ -v sys_var ] [ -V default_sysvar ]
                [ -P fixed_process_priority ]
 * Failed to start ntpd                                                   [ !! ]



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.upgrade to ntp 4.2.0
2./etc/init.d/ntpd start
3.watch it fail

Actual Results:  
ntpd failed to start due to it not knowing what the -U option does

Expected Results:  
It should have started normally as user ntp.

Oops never mind. It was a configuration issue
