Description DariuszSki 2011-05-24 11:14:33 CEST
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.
