The freebsd rc system does not support changing the location of the pidfile to some arbitrary place it is unaware of; doing so removes the ability to properly restart, stop, query status, etc. In other words, while the flag was historically in the default flags, it co= uld never be usefully changed, and indeed if you do some searching you'll see t= hat its accidental presence in the defaults has led to many errors and questions from users over the years as they tried to set ntpd_flags in rc.conf as you would for any other service/daemon and accidentally removed the -p flag in doing so. So this change was NOT a regression, it was in fact the fix for PR 199127. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
