Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ntp
ntp 1:4.2.4p0+dfsg-1ubuntu2 on gutsy.
ntp is started at boot time but it doesn't setuid to ntp, it's running
as root:
$ ps auxw | grep ntp
root 6851 0.0 0.0 4132 1288 ? Ss Nov02 0:00 /usr/sbin/ntpd
After restarting ntp, it works like expected:
$ sudo /etc/init.d/ntp restart
* Stopping NTP server ntpd
[ OK ]
* Starting NTP server ntpd
[ OK ]
$ ps auxw | grep ntp
ntp 21598 0.0 0.0 4120 1220 ? Ss 00:21 0:00 /usr/sbin/ntpd
-p /var/run/ntpd.pid -u 113:124 -g
The machine showing this issue only has wireless network access through
NetworkManager. That means, it didn't have network access at boot time but at
the time of restarting ntp.
** Affects: ntp (Ubuntu)
