[pkg-ntp-maintainers] Bug#550061: ntp: Leaves stale tmp files

[Harald Braumann]

Hi,

here is some additional info: it seems, ntpd creates these files, when
it can't connect to a server. 

If I unplug the network cable, the
interface is taken down by ifplugd, dhcp loses the lease and restarts
ntpd via /etc/dhcp3/dhclient-exit-hooks.d/ntp. In this case a temporary
file is created and never deleted. 

If I restart ntpd manually while the network is connected, no temporary
file is created.

Cheers,
harry
