Hi!
Would you mind sharing how this represents an issue w/ severity normal?
On the other hand, both path mentioned are hardcoded at ntpd.h
#define DRIFTFILE LOCALSTATEDIR "/db/ntpd.drift"
#define CTLSOCKET LOCALSTATEDIR "/run/ntpd.sock"
As you can see, either you patch the patch the thing or you use /run to
store both drift and sock files, which since the whole reason for the
driftfile to exists is tracking, renders the last statement unacceptable.
I would love to help, but honestly I don't get why this represents an issue!
Thanks for reporting and for caring about openntpd.
Cheers,
Dererk
