Maybe you already checked that, but just in case you didn't: *BEFORE* running ntpd, the clock should be more-or-less sync'd (I think - up to 2min drift). If drift is too high, ntpd won't even try to fix the clock. That's why most distros run ntpdate on boot before starting ntpd. Also paste the ntpq -p output as was already suggested here. - Oren ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
