Previously, you could not override ExecStart, only add to it. In systemd 197 (available in Fedora 18), this syntax should work: ExecStart= EnvironmentFile=-/etc/sysconfig/ntpd ExecStart=/usr/sbin/ntpd -u ntp:ntp $OPTIONS The empty ExecStart= indicates that you are clearing out the previous ExecStart entry (or entries, but that's not applicable here) and then you add your replacement. See this, especially starting at comment 9: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=756787 Note that I have not personally tested this. If this doesn't work for you, what is your systemd version, and what is the output of `systemctl show ntpd.service`? -- Richard _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@ntpsec.org http://lists.ntpsec.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
