>Release: FreeBSD 2.0.5-RELEASE i386
>Environment:
>Description:
xntpd does not detach from the controlling terminal. The
code around the daemon(...) call is guarded by a check
for 'i386' that I suspect is a holdover from an early
buggy version of daemon().
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
A simple fix to /usr/src/usr.sbin/xntpd/xntpd/ntpd.c follows.
I've run this under FreeBSD 2.0 and 2.0.5 as well as
BSD/OS 1.1 and 2.0 for months with no ill effects.
This should all be obsoleted by a newer version of the
NTP distribution, but I don't know what your plans are.
