Maybe you have one of those pesky "enhanced security" configs that have restricted the files that a specific application can open. (e.g. "selinux") Those often make programs fail in unexplainable ways, especially because most programs do not expect such restrictions and do not handle the errors they cause (both in the software and in the documentation). _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
