Hello, After a power outaga (Level 3 at Goswell Road, London), all our FreeBSD machines came up OK.
Nearly all of them had a problem though with ntpd. I'm guessing that most of these machines booted before the the ntp servers came up. What happens is that the machine runs two copies of ntpd: root 337 0.0 0.3 2964 1772 ?? Ss Sun04PM 0:24.75/usr/sbin/ntpd -c /etc/ntp.conf -p /var/run/ntpd.pid root 427 0.0 0.3 2964 1788 ?? S Sun04PM 0:00.76/usr/sbin/ntpd -c /etc/ntp.conf -p /var/run/ntpd.pid ... and they never sync. The only way to fix this is to kill both ntpds, then restart ntpd. Is there a tidy way round this? It's not much fun logging into 40+ machines and killing a restarting a key process. I have no idea why two ntpds are running in the first place. The machines that are correct have an identical config. Thanks, Frem. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
