I am looking at the process list entries for ntpd on two FreeBSD 10.3
systems and I see this:
system 1:
root 1187 0.0 0.4 32376 18172 - Ss
9:42AM 0:02.03 /usr/sbin/ntpd -g -c /etc/ntp.conf
system 2:
root 1024 0.0 0.0 26124 18044 - Ss 21Nov16
3:56.36 /usr/sbin/ntpd -g -c /etc/ntp.conf -p /var/run/ntpd.pid
Somehow system 1 is starting ntpd without passing the pidfile
argument. However, I have diffed the /etc/rc.d/ntpd files from both
systems against each other and there are no differences. So, how can
this be?
