If ntpd crashes, you should get a coredump which you can debug (assuming you've setup the coredumpsize limit to permit this) and perhaps a syslog message about a SIGSEGV, SIGBUS, or whatever. > Besides, I wouldn't call an Xterm and Xclock anything significant in the way > of X11 clients.

If you had 64MB of RAM, then the two clients wouldn't or shouldn't cause your system to swap. With only 16MB, however, you're sure to be paging, and more likely to be swapping entire processes out to disk Regards, -- -Chuck _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
