Description Thomas Deutschmann (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2013-12-01 15:35:00 UTC 
Hi,

1) # emerge =net-misc/openntpd-20080406-r5

2) # cat /etc/conf.d/ntpd
# /etc/conf.d/ntpd: config file for openntpd's ntpd

# See ntpd(8) man page ... some popular options:
#  -s   Set the time immediately at startup
NTPD_OPTS=""


3) Now add "-v" to NTPD_OPTS, because you want to see verbose output.

4) Restart (open)ntpd

5) NTPD_OPTS is ignored (verify using 'ps' or check logs for verbose output)

If you compare =net-misc/openntpd-20080406-r5 with previous versions you will notice that the runscript doesn't set "NTPD_OPTS" as "command_args". In other words, adding

  command_args="${NTPD_OPTS}"

to "/etc/init.d/ntpd" will fix the problem.

Reproducible: Always
