ntpd drift.TEMP file

I have just built an FC3 samba server using the K12LTSP iso's and am
getting the following messages on the log.

Jan 21 01:55:14 admin ntpd[9988]: can't open /etc/ntp/drift.TEMP:
Permission denied
Jan 21 01:55:14 admin kernel: audit(1106290514.375:0): avc:  denied  {
write } for  pid=9988 exe=/usr/sbin/ntpd name=ntp dev=hda3 ino=3392705
scontext=root:system_r:ntpd_t tcontext=system_u:object_r:etc_t tclass=dir

With SELinux enabled, the drift file could not be created.  In permissive
mode, the drift file is properly created and updated.  What have I done
wrong?

[root@admin ntp]# ls -dZ .
drwxr-xr-x  ntp      ntp      system_u:object_r:etc_t
 [root@admin ntp]# ls -lZ drift
-rw-r--r--  ntp      ntp      root:object_r:etc_t              drift
