I don't recall that to be the case. However, in version 3 OR 4, if you use a name for the server and the name can't be resolved to an address during initialization, the behavior is as you describe. This can happen if the DNS server is inaccessible and the NTP server's name is not resolvable through the hosts file or some other means. -Tom _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
