ntpd won't continue running on my "stratum 2" server (making our other
systems a tad untrustworthy "as time goes by").
$ uname -a
FreeBSD ezekiel.daleco.biz 6.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE #5: Sat Jan
20 16:41:42 CST 2007
root@ezekiel.daleco.biz:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386
using ktrace and kdump I get this prior to exit:
12195 ntpd NAMI "/var/run/logpriv"
12195 ntpd RET connect 0
12195 ntpd CALL sendto(0x4,0xbfbfdd50,0x3e,0,0,0)
12195 ntpd GIO fd 4 wrote 62 bytes
"<13>Mar 13 13:32:06 ntpd: logging to file /home/kadmin/ntp.log"
12195 ntpd RET sendto 62/0x3e
12195 ntpd CALL clock_gettime(0,0xbfbfeb08)
12195 ntpd RET clock_gettime 0
12195 ntpd CALL sigaction(0x1,0xbfbfeac0,0xbfbfeae0)
12195 ntpd RET sigaction 0
12195 ntpd CALL fork
12195 ntpd RET fork 12196/0x2fa4
12195 ntpd CALL exit(0)
After this, I can't `pgrep ntpd` or find a pid with "ps -aux". I've
found nothing in the logs; even using "-l $HOME/ntp.log". A windows box
complains "no response" using Softros' "NTS". `ntpq -p" here shows
ntpq -p

I can confirm that ntpd will continue to run if called with "-n" (do not
fork). I've started a "buildworld" cycle. Any other suggestions? Can
I do anything else "debugging" wise? Machine is about as close to
"production" as we get, so rebuild with a debug kernel isn't something
we'd really want to do, I think....
Thanks,
