This is a bug which made it into ntpd 4.2.8p10. I've just found the reason and opened an issue on bugzilla: http://bugs.ntp.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3402 I've also already a fix for this. The best solution for you is to specify the DLL name in a registry key instead of the environment variable. Run regedit and open this registry path: HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\services\NTP Then create a new key as multipart string, with the name "PPSProviders", and the contents "loopback_pps_api_provider.dll". Or, as a temporary workaround for the environment variables, you could try to append a dummy DLL name to the real DLL name, e.g.: PPSAPI_DLLS=loopback_pps_api_provider.dll;dummy Martin -- Martin Burnicki Meinberg Funkuhren Bad Pyrmont Germany _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
