So /etc/resolv.conf always contains nameserver 127.0.0.1. Bind's options are controlled by resolvconf (like adding/removing forwarders). This is on a laptop, so it is often without network connection. The interface is controlled by ifplugd. It takes the interface down or up, depending on the link state. and what does grep hosts /etc/nsswitch.conf return? hosts: files dns Do you have ipv6 connectivity? Or is ipv6 completly disabled? It is enabled but not used for outside connections (no ipv6 router). harry signature.asc Description: PGP signature

I've been trying to reproduce this using 4.2.4p7+dfsg-4, but I never get such files. On the other hand looking at the code, I don't see how it could be cleaned up in the succesful case.

Hi, here is some additional info: it seems, ntpd creates these files, when it can't connect to a server. If I unplug the network cable, the interface is taken down by ifplugd, dhcp loses the lease and restarts ntpd via /etc/dhcp3/dhclient-exit-hooks.d/ntp. In this case a temporary file is created and never deleted. If I restart ntpd manually while the network is connected, no temporary file is created.
