ntp file update problem

I'm seeing this message in a few pairs of 6400 LTMs running 9.3.1. In /var/log/messages, I get this:

 

 

 

Aug 8 16:06:33 bigip2 SubDomain: REJECTING w access to /etc/ntp.drift.TEMP (ntpd(1190) profile /usr/sbin/ntpd active /usr/sbin/ntpd)

 

 

In /var/log/daemon.log, I get this:

 

 

Aug 8 16:06:33 bigip2 ntpd[1190]: can't open /etc/ntp.drift.TEMP: Permission denied

 

 

The permissions on the file are:

 

 

[root@bigip2:Active] log ll /etc/ntp.drift.TEMP

 

-rw-r--r-- 1 ntp ntp 0 Jun 26 20:18 /etc/ntp.drift.TEMP

 

 

 

The process is running as the user ntp:

 

1190 ? SL 0:08 ntpd -c /config/ntp.conf -U ntp -p /var/run/ntpd.pid ...

 

 

What am I missing?

    Hi,

     

     

    Subdomain is blocking ntpd from write access to the ntp.drift.TEMP file. You can contact F5 Support for help in resolving this (Click here).

  • I just added a line to the appropriate subdomain file, and it looks like that took care of it. Thanks hoolio.
