Thank you, Christian, but I have confirmed that ntp is not running before the attempt that generates that message. # ps ax | grep ntp # killall ntpd No matching processes were found # ntpdc -c peers ntpdc: read: Connection refused So, I think we can be pretty sure at this point that ntpd is NOT running. Then.. I can't use the script to start ntp, because the config parameters are to not start it, so # ntpd Boom! I immediately get the error message that I gave above! If it were already running, I could understand, but my point is that I've been pretty thorough in determining that it is my first attempt to run it that gets this error message. I have also tried running "ntpdate" before starting ntpd, or not doing it. If I do it, it works correctly, indicating that ntpd is not running, becuase ntpdate will fail if ntpd is running. I have also NOT run ntpdate first (after a reboot) just to prove to myself that there's nothing "residual" it could leave that would make ntpd complain about this.
