OPNSense 23.1.5 - NTP service fails

[guest34985]

Hi everyone,

after the update to 23.1.5 NTP service fails to start (even after second reboot). Logfiles has this:

Code: [Select]

2023-03-29T17:14:08 Error ntpd daemon child exited with code 1
2023-03-29T17:14:08 Error ntpd unable to bind to wildcard address :: - another process may be running - EXITING
Used to work flawlessly before, maybe you have a hint ...

Having same issue since this morning's update.

Same issue here. Log file looks indentical.

Had the same issue...

I saw running NTP processes listening on the selected interfaces but looks like on initial boot maybe the service checker didn't align?

I was able to force kill the PIDS from the command line and restart NTP from the web UI and its reflected properly now.

Same. Ran top, existing ntpd process was running ("couldn't bind to wildcard address" when starting?), killed it, service started right up.

Looks like this is the bad commit.

The patch fixed it, ntpd starts again after reboot.

Thx!

Can confirm the patch works. After applying the patch, NTP instantly works.
Also no errors in log after restarting the service.

Thx
