Public bug reported: NTPD drift file is not given permission in Apparmor configuration in "/etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.ntpd". Proper permission should be given to the drift file.
EXPECTED RESULT ---- No NTPD drift error print in syslog and system doesn't hang. ACTUAL RESULT ---- At least on my development PC during heavy compilation whole system freezes and I need to do a forced shutdown.
