The ntp daemon should run as a non-root user for security reasons. Prior to WRL5 this was the case, but no longer. Also, the ntpd binary seems to be installed in /usr/bin but as a daemon it should be in /usr/sbin The package should also use crypto support when the relevant packages are available, as in a standard CGL rootfs configuration.
Manually add the ntp user and group. Edit the etc/init.d/ntpd script to add the -u ntp:ntp option.
$ configure --enable-board=qemux86 --enable-rootfs=glibc_std --enable-kernel=standard $ make -C build ntp.addpkg Or use a glibc_cgl rootfs as this includes ntp by default. $ make fs $ make start-target Log in as root and then: root@qemu0:~# ps ax | grep ntpd 1314 ? Ss 0:00 /usr/bin/ntpd -p /var/run/ntp.pid -g 1323 ? S 0:00 /usr/bin/ntpd -p /var/run/ntp.pid -g 1465 ttyS0 S+ 0:00 grep ntpd root@qemu0:~# grep ntp /etc/passwd /etc/group root@qemu0:~# The -u option should be used to specify the user:group to use. Normally there is a user and a group called ntp in the passwd and group files, but they are also missing so need to be added. Notice also that the binary is in the wrong location: root@qemu0:~# which ntpd /usr/bin/ntpd This should be /usr/sbin Crypto support also seems to be missing.
