one further change to consider -- run /etc/cron.daily/ntp-server as user ntp instead of root. maybe stick a line like this in it:
[ "`/usr/bin/id -un`" = ntp ] || exec /bin/su -s /bin/sh ntp $0 (or use /etc/cron.d/ntp-server which can specify a username) -dean -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
