I have just built an FC3 samba server using the K12LTSP iso's and am
getting the following messages on the log.
Jan 21 01:55:14 admin ntpd[9988]: can't open /etc/ntp/drift.TEMP:
Permission denied

With SELinux enabled, the drift file could not be created. In permissive
mode, the drift file is properly created and updated. What have I done
wrong?
