I think it is a bug. I fought this for a while and changed it in /etc/ntp.conf to driftfile /etc/ntp/drift Of course the frigging 7.3 dhcp setup kept overwriting the ntp.conf file and I had to change /etc/sysconfig/ntpd to look like: [EMAIL PROTECTED] sysconfig]$ cat ntpd # Drop root to id 'ntp:ntp' by default. Requires kernel >= 2.2.18. #OPTIONS="-U ntp" OPTIONS="-U ntp -f /etc/ntp/drift" I am uncertain of the usefulness of the drift file anyway but I hated seeing the error message. hth Bret -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
