Description Joe McCann 2004-11-17 10:34:57 UTC 
Before choosing some extra servers with the time-admin tool, my ntp.conf server
section looks like this:

server gilbreth.ecn.purdue.edu prefer
server ntp-0.cso.uiuc.edu

After adding a server, the config is altered to look like this:

server gilbreth.ecn.purdue.eduprefer
server ntp-0.cso.uiuc.edu
server ntp1.cs.wisc.edu

The whitespace between the first server name and prefer is removed, altering the
config and causing the option to go unused and the server name to be incorrect

This seems to be reproducible upstream with another gentoo user.

I can also confirm this (tested on two machines), the spaces are mangled. It
seems to be that somewhere in gst_replace_join_all, all of the spaces in the
value are ignored.

Fixed in CVS
