Those directories should not be writable by non-priviledged users. e.g. freebsd:/usr/local$ ls -al | grep bin drwxr-xr-x 4 root wheel 23552 Nov 7 03:04 bin drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 2560 Apr 12 2013 sbin If you don't wish to add those directories to your search path then use a shell alias so that 'ntpq' is /usr/local/bin/ntpq. Set it in the same places where you updated the PATH. -- Steve Kostecke <[email protected]> NTP Public Services Project - http://support.ntp.org/ _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
