Re: ** PROBLEM Service Alert: vserver7/NTP is CRITICAL **
Now that's weird. /var/log/ntpstats was not owned by ntp, and thus couldn't write there. root@vserver7:~# ls -ld /var/log/ntpstats/ drwxr-xr-x 2 avahi-autoipd haldaemon 4096 2010-04-08 22:14 /var/log/ntpstats/ I chowned it to ntp:ntp. -- Craig On Jun 14, 2012, at 8:14 AM, [email protected] wrote:

That's been a battle we've fought between our image and bcfg2 since we rolled Lucid out. It's a big part of why I monitor NTP everywhere. Ken Raffenetti Systems Administration Associate MCS Division - Argonne National Laboratory On 06/14/2012 08:23 AM, Craig Stacey wrote:

Can you add <Permissions /> for that directory in bcfg to make sure it's set right or is there something else? On Jun 14, 2012, at 9:19 AM, Ken Raffenetti wrote:

The quick fix is to run "dpkg-reconfigure ntp" on any affected hosts. I had set that up as a bcfg2 action for a while, but disabled it when I thought we can hit everything. Guess I was wrong.
