Fixed now. But still, why does ntpd have four processes (now three)? It is eating memory (38.9% of 12MB = +/- 4.7 MB). Thanks very much for the help!!!~ Sebastiaan -- NT is the OS of the future. The main engine is the 16-bit Subsystem (also called MS-DOS Subsystem). Above that, there is the windoze 95/98 16-bit Subsystem. Anyone can see that 16+16=32, so windoze NT is a *real* 32-bit system. > have fun > alvin > http://www.Linux-Consulting.com/NTP .. see server/client conf and docs > > > On Wed, 9 Jan 2002, Sebastiaan wrote: > > > Hello, > > > > I have several computers running ntpd, but on one computer it does not > > work.
