This is an OpenPGP/MIME signed message (RFC 4880 and 3156) --NjTDsHeA1gXcMEHGXJdtMwJsW7lHvnw0q Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable On 10/27/15 22:51, Robert Sargent via freebsd-security wrote: > there is a simple workaround if you don't want to or can't reboot your = machines: install the ntp pkg=20 >=20 > pkg install ntp >=20 > and add the following line to /etc/rc.conf =20 >=20 > ntpd_program=3D"/usr/local/sbin/ntpd" >=20 > then kill the original /usr/sbin/ntpd process and run this command: >=20 > /etc/rc.d/ntpd start This is very frustrating. Installing the ntp package as above will give you a working ntpd the first time you start it. But attempting to restart ntpd after that will result in the same sort of SEGV as seen with the ntpd from freebsd-update. So far I've found that ntp-4.2.8p3 or above -- whether installed via freebsd-updates or via package -- installed on 10.1-RELEASE-p14 or 10.2-RELEASE-p{3,4,5} will startup and run at most one time (presumably, that's one time between successive system reboots, but I haven't tested that.) Worse: it seems you get at most one successful startup out of both of those variants together. Exactly the same ntp package installed on 10.2-STABLE built yesterday will run perfectly well, and restart just fine. Similarly the base ntpd in 10.2-STABLE runs and restarts just fine.
