It probably needs more memory than the old version that worked. I don't know of any changes that require a lot more memory. One of the changes a year or two ago was to replace the ntpdc -c monlist command with ntpq -c mrulist. It may need a bit more memory. You can setup a script to collect the mrulist every 5 minutes and see how big it gets before it crashes. I think the default is 600 slots, same as the old limit, but you can now make it huge without killing CPU performance in case you want to know who is using your system. (If course, a huge list will take more memory.) Look at the mru area in miscopt.html -- These are my opinions. I hate spam. _______________________________________________ pool mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/pool
