David, > What happens if you delete the drift file and leave it for a few hours?
After I deleted the drift file and left it run overnight, the drift file was not created in the first couple hours and when I checked this morning. ntp.drift and ntp.drift.TEMP were created. ntp.drift couldn't be opened because ntp was using it. ntp.drifti.TEMP had a value of +500. And NTPD is still running. But I believe NTPD will stop eventually, same as what happened before. Thanks, Kev. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
