I booted up again this morning, and ran ntpq> pe before connecting to the I nternet, and got the same result as above. Then connected to the Internet, and ran pe again, and got the "No association ID's returned" reply. Services shows the daemon is running, and lists a couple of PID's that I checked using ps auxw . See below ntp 2875 0.0 2.1 5392 5392 ? SL 10:27 0:00 ntpd -U ntp -p /var/run/ntpd.pid -g root 4531 0.0 2.1 5392 5392 ? S 10:31 0:00 ntpd -U ntp -p /var/run/ntpd.pid -g This is odd. I've just stopped ntpd, and PID 2875 has disappeared under "services" status, but the status window still shows ntpd running, but only with PID 4531. Press stop again, and it returns stop failed, but now the status says "ntpd stopped". Now press start, and status says, ntpd (pid 14218) is running, and ntpq> pe now shows the server list. ntp 14218 0.0 1.9 4912 4912 ? SL 11:52 0:00 ntpd -U ntp -p /var/run/ntpd.pid -g root 14494 0.0 1.9 4912 4912 ? S 11:53 0:00 ntpd -U ntp -p /var/run/ntpd.pid -g Harlan. What you say in your next post about, if I read it correctly, is that the daemon is being started too early in the boot process. What I might try is putting a couple of lines in rc.local to stop and then start ntp.
