I've tried the various recommended fixes with no success.
Jim; openntpd in beta1 failed on machines which are disconnected from the Internet by the ISP or telco companies once a day, which happens often on consumer ADSL accounts. This bug has been fixed in beta2 - but as davidMbrooke wrote a few days ago a wrong setting in /etc/default/openntpd slipped into beta2, which stops openntpd at startup. (replacing start optione "-d" with "-s" solves the issue). Now I do have a stable and reliable openntpd. kp ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
