For what it's worth, I spent a while looking at it, and I can't see anything that would cause this. Ending up with *no* ntpd running, I can imaging from various failures, but not two. I suspect I would need another clue to look in the right place. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
