MDKSA-2005:156: ntp Vulnerability Scan
Vulnerability Scan Summary Check for the version of the ntp package
Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Test
The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory MDKSA-2005:156 (ntp).
When starting xntpd with the -u option and specifying the group by using a
string not a numeric gid the daemon uses the gid of the user not the group.
The updated packages have been patched to correct this problem.
