That is that way I understood it. I never did try try ntpd and with ntpdate in my local.start. That probably would have corrected my problems, but ntpdate seems to be working fine by itself right now. Interesting conversation on the subject though. Dave > > > > I don't know but the use of ntpd is

I had 3 servers and when looking in the logs, saw a lot of connection problems. Also, system was showing problem stopping the ntpd when shutting down or rebooting. If I would check the server it was usually fine from my memory. Also, I think it would depend on if your system keeps time well or not.

Finally figured it out. I was stuck at the boot, but found out how to boot single user mode via grub and then removed it alla rc-update. All is good now I will take your advice about adding ntpdate to my local.start. Although I think adding to Cron would be better. I'll try both.:) Thanks fo

You can remove it from boot with: rc-update del ntpd default I stopped using ntpd and just put ntpdate in my /etc/conf.d/local.start file. # ntpd doesn't work to well so use this for clock setting ntpdate ntp0.mcs.anl.gov not sure if this would stop the problem if it cannot connect to the server
