Using set -x didn't occur to me, but from a brief look at the output, it seemed to pick up (which, I guess, it shouldn't) my openntpd_flags="-s" in /etc/rc.conf. But even then, the logfile was populated with nothing more than "Starting openntpd", so I'm back to where I started. I guess I'll be filing this in my WTF notes, and call it a day. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
