When trying to authenticate NTP (PKI based )with a CA signed certificate results in the following error:
kernel:ntpd[11589]: segfault at 0 ip 00007fb9a75c0566 sp 00007ffc8ed67868 error 4 in libc-2.12.so[7fb9a7498000+18a000]
ntp.conf has been configured as follows:
crypto randfile /dev/urandom
includefile /etc/ntp/crypto/pw
keysdir /etc/ntp/
Autokey is configured for the NTP server.
The following errors are seen intermittently
