[pkg-ntp-maintainers] Bug#883022:

[Bharat Mediratta]

I'm seeing a similar issue:

Feb 18 12:02:12 fidelity kernel: [   55.945224] audit: type=1400
audit(1518984132.951:11): apparmor="DENIED" operation="open"
profile="/usr/sbin/ntpd" name="/usr/local/sbin/" pid=2474 comm="ntpd"
requested_mask="r" denied_mask="r" fsuid=0 ouid=0
Feb 18 12:02:12 fidelity kernel: [   55.945230] audit: type=1400
audit(1518984132.951:12): apparmor="DENIED" operation="open"
profile="/usr/sbin/ntpd" name="/usr/local/bin/" pid=2474 comm="ntpd"
requested_mask="r" denied_mask="r" fsuid=0 ouid=0

I think that part of the problem is that I have /usr/local in my path:

 # ps ax | grep ntp


ntp       2563  0.0  0.1  10020  3044 ?        Ssl  12:02   0:00
/usr/sbin/ntpd -p /var/run/ntpd.pid -g -u 111:113

# cat /proc/2563/environ


JOURNAL_STREAM=9:19427PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/binINVOCATION_ID=5defcd39b2f748c39d7b90e20b4f2469LANG=en_USPWD=/

so I assume that it's searching the path for a binary. the /usr/local bit
is defined in /etc/profile

it works for me, so not going to worry about it for now.
