Description Michal Marek 2010-12-10 16:35:21 UTC 
/etc/init.d/ntp mounts proc under /var/lib/ntp/proc and remounts it readonly, probably since

- fix read-only mount of proc in chroot

Unfortunatelly, there is a single instance of the proc filesystem in recent kernels, so /proc becomes readonly as well. This blocks logins to the machine, because pam can't write to /proc/self/loginuid. Please remove the line that remounts /proc.

there is already a fix pending
