Hi,

I just noticed this, no idea when this started.

Feb 12 18:29:50 ntpmon ntpd[2152]: INIT: ntpd ntpsec-1.1.3+
2019-02-12T10:25:36Z (git rev b4f55578e): Starting

Feb 12 18:29:50 ntpmon ntpd[2153]: CONFIG: syntax error in /etc/ntp.conf
line 11, column 6



My ntp.conf starts with: (and this is my first use of "pr" since 1988!)

Question: What is line 11?  After stripping away blank lines and comments?
In either case, I see nothing funny on a column 6
