I verified it works well with the current ntp-dev version 4.2.5p111. If the file doesn't exist, a warning message "getconfig: Couldn't open </etc/ntp.servers>" is printed to the log, and the daemon just proceeds without it, as usual. Well, this does not solve everything: if the conf upgrade happens to impact "server" lines (example appending "iburst" to them), or intimately related things (like associated "restrict" lines), it will not touch /etc/ntp.servers Alain. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
