Package: openntpd Version: 3.9p1+debian-5 Severity: normal Tags: patch The start-stop-daemon command in the init script tries to stop both ntpd processes, but usually only succeeds in killing one, since killing the first one causes it to kill the second. Then the start-stop-daemon fails to kill the second ntpd process and prints an error.
The attached patch changes the start-stop-daemon to only select the process owned by root, which prevents it from trying to kill both processes and therefore the error.
