No I suspect you ran /usr/sbin/ntpd, not /etc/init.d/ntpd /etc/init.d/ntpd start should do EXACTLY the same thing as when the system runs it on bootup. >> The -x command to bash will print each line as it gets expanded >> and executed.

It of course produces far more output but obviates the need to insert echo lines into /etc/init.d/ntpd Note, I am wondering what has happened to all these suggestions? Have youtried any of them yet? Have you discovered what it is actually using as its configuration file? You might want to post the config file here ( ntp.conf) here in case it is some error in that file which is causing your problems rather than that ntpd is using some other config file. >Thanks, >Joe _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
