Oh, looks like the African NTP server we have in the default ntp.conf is having issues. Looking at pool.ntp.org for Africa: http://www.pool.ntp.org/zone/africa it looks like we should probably change that to za.pool.ntp.org and/or africa.pool.ntp.org. On the other hand, probably all the servers in that file should be commented by default, and the only enabled servers should be the global zone servers: 0.pool.ntp.org. The text should probably just instruct you to uncomment the servers in your region. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
