Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

on first startup ntpd-rs print the following warning
WARN Observer{path=Some("/var/run/ntpd-rs/observe")}: ntpd::daemon::observer: Abnormal termination of the state observer: Could not create observe socket at "/var/run/ntpd-rs/observe" because its parent directory does not exist

observation-path was not modified in the configuration.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?
Startup without warning about missing directories would be appreciated.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
the folder was created manually. But nowadays /var/run is on tmpfs, so the folder should be created at every startup
   * What was the outcome of this action?
no more warning today :)
