Wayne >Release: 4.5, 4.7 >Organization: Msen, Inc. >Environment: 4.5-RELEASE-p20, 4.7-RC >Description: Using a virtual web server, with lines like: ifconfig_lo0_alias19="inet 148.59.66.19 netmask 255.255.255.255 " in /etc/rc, ntpd will bind to each of the virtual interfaces. There is an (undocumented) option, -L, which purports to enable this behaviour, but on our systems we found no way to disable it. Further, there is a but in code prior to that which is testing a value that has never been set. Does not seem to be a problem under FreeBSD but is a bug nontheless. >How-To-Repeat: Enable virtual interfaces, start ntpd. >Fix: I have a 25 line patch which corrects the problem, including printing debug information where appropriate and documenting the other issue. I'm not about to post it into a web form though. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
