First of all, please accept my sincere apologies for not providing a more verbose changelog entry and not letting you know, as patch provider, the following. The reasons for openntpd not carrying this patch (above from it no longer applies after the large ntp_adjtime/adjtimex changes), is that I considered at that moment it was no longer required because of the initscript resting on "pidof -o" implementation, which replaces this functionality. If you consider this to be a wrong assessment, I'll be happy to receive a refreshed patch with the corresponding explanation on why we should carry it. Just for the sake of sanitization, I'll be closing this bug with all due respect. Once again, please accept my sincere apologies for not providing a proper communication on this subject.
