Never having been successful with mergemaster (couldn't make heads nor tails of the "what to do" prompts) I just ran adduser, creating a locked ntpd user and group. Nothing else special done. The machine is up to r336567 on arm64. Installkernel ran, I didn't touch anthing in /etc manually and reboot looked normal. For now it seems ignorance is bliss.... If there's something special I should do (beyond locking) to secure the ntpd account please warn me. Thanks for reading, bob prohaskaReceived on Sat Jul 21 2018 - 15:47:14 UTC
