/run/samba/ntp_signd/ directory: wrong permissions prevent time synchronisation

[delacroix0815]

After a fresh reboot the permissions for /run/samba/ntp_signd/ are:

drwxr-x--- 3 root root /run/samba/ntp_signd

but should be:

drwxr-x--- 3 root ntp /run/samba/ntp_signd

more about that here: https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Time_Synchronisation

A chgrp ntp /run/samba/ntp_signd/ is only a temporary solution because the /run - directory gets recreated after a reboot.

I suggest moving the whole /run/samba directory to a non-volatile location like /var/lib/samba and setting the correct owner & group (root:ntp) for the ntp_signd directory is the simple way to go here.

As successful time synchronisation is a requisite for domain logons, this should be included immediately.
