            Bug ID: 219255
           Summary: /etc/rc.d/ntpd
           Product: Base System
           Version: 10.3-RELEASE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: conf
          Assignee: freebsd-bugs at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: bugs.freebsd.org at a2aefddc.biz.jgreco.net

There is an unprotected mv command in /etc/rc.d/ntpd.

In certain cases, such as a schg-hardened or other read-only system, it may not
be possible to update /var/db/ntpd.leap-seconds.list.  In such cases, the rc
script processing halts with

overrride rw-r--r-- root/wheel for /var/db/ntpd.leap-seconds.list? (y/n [n])

which effectively blocks rc from proceeding.

Commands that could result in a console prompt should be protected from such a
possibility.  In this case, it appears that "mv" should be changed to "mv -f".
