But > surely, there's a more elegant solution. Or is there? Hi, An elegant (I think) way of solving this is to put scripts in /etc/ppp/ip-[up|down].d/ to stop and start ntpd when pppd reconnects. My /etc/ppp/ip-down.d/ntp-server simply says, ----- #!/bin/sh [ -x /usr/sbin/ntpd ] || exit 0 echo "Stopping NTP server" /etc/init.d/ntp-server stop ----- and my /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/ntp-server, ----- #!/bin/sh [ -x /usr/sbin/ntpd ] || exit 0 echo "Starting NTP server" /etc/init.d/ntp-server start ----- Just make sure these scrips are executable (755).
