Hi,

on my systems, systemd logs when starting up ntpsec:

systemd[1]: ntpsec.service: Can't open PID file /run/ntpd.pid (yet?) after start: Operation not permitted

The pidfile seems to be written okay though.

This is misleading when debugging ntp. The message shouldnt be there.

Greetings
Marc

Closes: 1023023
Changes:
 ntpsec (1.2.2+dfsg1-1) unstable; urgency=medium
 .
   * New upstream version
     - Restore/cleanup NTPv1 support
     - NTS supports partial wildcards, for example *.example.com
     - Work on documentation, ntpdate, ntpheat, ntploggpg, ntpq’s sysstats,
       ntpviz, and seccomp.
     - NTP auth no longer breaks on NULs.
     - The NTS server now saves 10 days worth of cookie keys. This will allow
       clients that only poll once a day to use NTS without using NTS-KE to
       keep cookies up to date.
     - rawstats now logs dropped packets and their BOGON code
     - Add 4 or 6 to DNS/NTS RefID tags to indicate that the DNS or NTS-KE has
       succeeded but NTP has not worked yet.
     - Fix hash validation in ntpleapfetch again
   * Update Standards-Version to 4.6.2 (no changes)
   * Write pidfile in parent (Closes: 1023023)
