Bug 134468

Summary:	/etc/ntp created by default - but not used by /etc/default settings

Description dirkx 2009-05-11 18:30:01 UTC

A default install of base will create the directory /etc/ntp.

However - the settings specified in /etc/defaults/* point to a config file in /etc/ntp.conf

Fix: 

Either remove /etc/ntp, point ntpd its config in /etc/defaults/ to the right place or document what its chroot concept would be.
How-To-Repeat: default install. observe

Not USB.  Don't know where the problem is yet, but it's not USB...

After talking to the NTP maintainer, this is not a bug.  The purpose 
of /etc/ntp/ is to ise as a place to store things like ntp keys and 
other related config, to try to keep /etc less cluttered.  This 
directory will be used more in the future.
