Description of problem: Two errors are showing up in /var/log/daemons/errors.log - they seem to be recurring when the system is booted on different times / days. ntpd [3707] line 27 column 19 syntax error, unexpected T_EOC, expecting T_Ipv4_flag or T_Ipv6_flag or T_String ntpd [3707] syntax error in /etc/ntp.conf line 27, column 19 Line27 in ntp.conf is multicastclient # listen on default 224.0.1.1 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 4.2.6p3-2.mga1 How reproducible: Install and use ntp as normal.
hmm, the multicastclient issue had definitely been fixed. You probably still have an old /etc/ntp.conf (i.e. the new/fixed ntp.conf is /etc/ntp.conf.rpmnew); you need to rename /etc/ntp.conf.rpmnew to /etc/ntp.conf, then restart the ntpd service and the errors shouldn't appear again.
