The reference implementation of ntpd is supposed to create/write a drift file at intervals of one hour. Be certain that the account you use to run ntp has the necessary rights to create a file and/or that the directory you specified as the location for the file has permissions set to allow writing such a file. It works for me, has for years now! _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
