Better yet, set "rlimit memlock 0" to disable the behaviour of ntpd trying to lock itself into memory altogether. I have yet to find a limit that doesn't crash on a very busy server after $random_timespan. And it's also a waste of your memory, because it forbids the OS to simply swap out things that are never used. -- Michael Meier, Zentrale Systeme Friedrich-Alexander-Universitaet Erlangen-Nuernberg Regionales Rechenzentrum Erlangen Martensstrasse 1, 91058 Erlangen, Germany Tel.: +49 9131 85-28973, Fax: +49 9131 302941 [email protected] www.rrze.fau.de _______________________________________________ pool mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/pool
