In that case I think it's the resolver slave process that's still running because resolving didn't work. As far as I know, this is the only case I saw a process still running after telling it to stop. But I wonder why it doesn't get killed if the parent gets killed. PS: You currently might need to purge either openntpd or ntp. The init scripts check that /usr/sbin/ntpd exists, which exists in both packages, and both scripts start ntpd and you really might end up with 2 daemons running. I'm still not sure what the best way to avoid this is. Kurt
