GUI was a read herring. The files I am thinking of, on Red Hat, are in a directory called, something like, /etc/sysconfig. They generally contain all the variable parameters. Whether or not they contain the ntpd configuration file name would depend on whether the GUI tools make that a user configurable option. Incidentally, Red Hat can and do change the location of files to reflect their filesystem layout policies. I don't have access to a Red Hat system immediately. Slackware uses /etc/ntp.conf, but doesn't use the System V (?) style start up scripts. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
