https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=209577 --- Comment #3 from rwmaillists@googlemail.com --- It's not really a question of where they are downloaded from, but how they are compared. The issue is that it's possible to download a more up-to-date copy with a later expiry, but with the same (or even an earlier) timestamp. rc.d/ntpd will only overwrite the working copy if the downloaded copy has a later timestamp, not a later expiry. As things stand a file installed from /etc/ntp/ to /var/db/ wont be overwritten by the IETF file until a new leap-second is announced. Five months after that, we're back where we are now. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
