I can't remember what program it was, but one I used a while back had a Help menu item that tried to open a manual living there, but of course the manual was compressed and under a different name and it couldn't be found. It's a minor inconvenience, but should files be left uncompressed for cases like this? Cheers, Bryan

Don't you mean dchpcd (the c stands for *client*, dhcpd would be the DHCP daemon granting leases to clients)? If so, and if you don't mind using the same settings for all network interfaces, have a look at /etc/dhcpcd.conf, which has an option "option ntp_servers". I'd guess that disabling this would do what you want. Actually, you can use /etc/conf.d/net to turn off receiving NTP configuration for just one interface, if you want. The `dhcp_IFACE` parameter takes several values, one of which is `nontp`, which will do exactly that. For example: config_eth0="dhcp" dhcp_eth0="nontp" When you find the net.example file, you'll find that documented under GENERIC DHCP OPTIONS, about midway through the file. Regards, -- ♫Dustin
