Package: ntp Version: 1:4.2.4p4+dfsg-8lenny3 Severity: critical Justification: breaks the whole system
Hi There, We've just had an issue were a server became unresponsive after NTP started switching status as per the daemon log below: Oct 13 19:15:44 mb ntpd[1966]: kernel time sync status change 4001 Oct 13 20:06:59 mb ntpd[1966]: kernel time sync status change 0001 Oct 13 20:41:09 mb ntpd[1966]: kernel time sync status change 4001 Oct 13 20:58:14 mb ntpd[1966]: kernel time sync status change 0001 Oct 13 21:43:43 mb afpd[5409]: afp_alarm: child timed out Oct 13 21:43:43 mb afpd[5409]: 44.10KB read, 650.20KB written Oct 13 21:43:43 mb afpd[5409]: Connection terminated Oct 13 21:43:43 mb afpd[2052]: server_child[1] 5409 exited 1 Oct 13 21:49:26 mb ntpd[1966]: kernel time sync status change 4001 Oct 13 22:06:30 mb ntpd[1966]: kernel time sync status change 0001 Oct 14 00:06:00 mb ntpd[1966]: kernel time sync status change 4001 Oct 14 00:23:06 mb ntpd[1966]: kernel time sync status change 0001 Oct 14 00:57:16 mb ntpd[1966]: kernel time sync status change 4001 Oct 14 01:48:31 mb ntpd[1966]: kernel time sync status change 0001 Oct 14 02:56:49 mb ntpd[1966]: kernel time sync status change 4001 Oct 14 03:48:02 mb ntpd[1966]: kernel time sync status change 0001 Oct 14 06:38:45 mb ntpd[1966]: kernel time sync status change 4001 Oct 14 08:21:13 mb ntpd[1966]: kernel time sync status change 0001 Oct 14 09:46:37 mb ntpd[1966]: kernel time sync status change 4001 Oct 14 10:03:40 mb ntpd[1966]: kernel time sync status change 0001 Once the server was rebooted, netatalk (afpd) clients could reconnect again. and SSH connections once again worked. I'm not 100% sure that NTP caused the issue, as the status changes have been reported previously without causing unresponsiveness. However there is no other logs indicating any other failures.
