Should be fixed in git now. Auto-daemonizing mode of ntpd (and many other daemons) is problematic anyway. For example, error messages are not logged anywhere... how do you know what it is doing, is it okay? If now, what's the problem? _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list [email protected] http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox
