Re: [SLUG] ntpd won't start

[Howard Lowndes <lannet@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've tried running it with strace and it seems to be reasonably 
consistent about crapping out about the nscd socket, but not every time:

socket(PF_FILE, SOCK_STREAM, 0)         = 13
fcntl64(13, F_GETFL)                    = 0x2 (flags O_RDWR)
fcntl64(13, F_SETFL, O_RDWR|O_NONBLOCK) = 0
connect(13, {sa_family=AF_FILE, path="/var/run/nscd/socket"}, 110) = -1 
EACCES (Permission denied)
close(13)                               = 0
--- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) ---
+++ killed by SIGSEGV +++

The socket is mode 666
