Ouups I've forgot the link of the bug on fedora => https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=430143#c4 (In reply to comment #3) > Ouups I've forgot the link of the bug on fedora => > https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=430143#c4 net-misc/openntpd-20080406 is debian's version of openntpd, which is basically 3.9 plus a lot of patches, which have accumulated over the years. ntpd has no option to tweak its verboseness. Have a look at <http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/usr.sbin/ntpd/> maybe you can add such an option yourself and reopen this bug with a patch later. I guess I'm a little bit late on this bug, having only come across it after trying to figure out why a recent update broke my ntpd syslog configuration, but I think this is a bad idea: * If you don't want ntpd noise in /var/log/messages, update your syslog configuration to put it elsewhere * running with -d to log to stderr actually generates more noise than logging via syslog * Now there is no way to rotate the ntpd log without restarting ntpd 8-/, *and* this update provides no mechanism to rotate at all, resulting in an endlessly growing log file, as opposed to the previous version which was handled by the default logrotate config. I can't remember ever once having any issue with ntpd delaying the boot process, but if that is a problem for some people, resolving it without breaking syslog support and log rotation would seem to be a better way to go. |
