Hi,
i just noticed that i the ntp service daemon failed to start during boot, i do not know whats the problem here and i am not negatively affected in any ways, at least i did not noticed anything.
But i wanted to check this nevertheless. This is the output of: systemctl status ntpd.service

The line containing: “Cannot reopen log file /var/log/ntp, Permission denied” is highlighted in red, maybe that is the problem?
