It does not anything with ntpdate -v localhost | ntpdate localhost but ntpdate -d localhost | ntpdate -q localhost do work indeed. What probably compounded (my apparent confusion) is that tools ntpq | ntpdc I commonly use to check upon ntpd are not working (as you explained). Thank you for your effort/input. _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list [email protected] http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox
