Subject: Re: openntpd: dispatch_imsg in main: pipe closed

Hmm. I got a bit confused with its behavior. I've been using OpenNTPD
for quite a while, but I would never encounter such behaviour.
First, it used to log it's time sync actions:

Nov 24 14:35:42 www ntpd[419]: adjusting local clock by -192.952421s
Nov 24 14:40:03 www ntpd[419]: adjusting local clock by -192.819198s
It doesn't any more now.

It would also never write such messages:
Dec  6 10:25:22 www ntpd[5506]: dispatch_imsg in main: pipe closed
Dec  6 10:25:22 www ntpd[5506]: Terminating

Moreover,
it launches and works ok, but the following log string is confusing:
Dec  6 10:25:22 www ntpd[5506]: dispatch_imsg in main: pipe closed
I believe that the termination notification string would be enough.
