PfSense 2.2: ntpd keeps terminating and restarting
-
Please try the following patches: they simply remove the ntp reconfiguration and kill/restart from the files /etc/inc/newwanip and /etc/inc/newwanipv6. The packages will still be restarted. This will let ntpd use its own code for detecting interface changes. Should also help with https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/4155 and https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=78194.0
Has anyone tried this and had it resolve their issue and not break anything? I'm pretty confident that's a fine change, and it seems like it should avoid the crash described here. I made this change in 2.3 as part of https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/4155

Yeah, I'm confident it's a fine change as well, though obviously the core issue is somewhere else (i.e., in the ntpd code). Unfortunately, unless you backport fixes to usable pfSense branch, it's like if you did nothing.

[/quote]Well, my machines have worked OK with that patch since before I posted it. No known breakage, but I guess I don't count as a second opinion :)
Looking forward to testing 2.3….

Your first opinion is appreciated regardless. :) Wasn't clear from your earlier post if you were running it at all at the time, or were still running it now 6 months after the fact.
