Details

Description:
openntpd stopped working on my machine for some time, calling '/etc/rc.d/openntd start' resulted in
"fatal: getservbyname: Input/output error
dispatch_imsg in main: pipe closed
Lost child: child exited
Terminating"
Looking into it, call of ntpd -d causes this.

Additional info:
* package version(s): community/openntpd 3.9p1-12 , probably some earlier versions too

Steps to reproduce:
start /etc/rc.d/openntpd or run ntpd -d

FIX:
According to this thread https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=285 (somewhere in the middle) the solution can be found by:
"
# ntpd -d
fatal: getservbyname: Input/output error
dispatch_imsg in main: pipe closed
Lost child: child exited
Terminating
====
This is then fixed by:
====
# echo "ntp 123/udp" >> /etc/services
====
(shouldn't your install handle this?)
"

This fixed the problems for my machine.
Thanks, Marek

new iana-etc package that provides this file have this entry, so I guess this is fixed, correct?

weird.. I swear /etc/services used to be empty on my system and I did have iana-etc installed, now after manual reinstall, all is fixed and the file is full. Thanks a lot for the tip and and I close the bug.
