Yes, I had the same problem with my Mandriva 2007 system. Their ntpd has the -A option enabled in /etc/sysconfig/ntpd. You need to remove that option and all those peers will go away. The only peers that should show up under 'ntpq -p' are the ones listed in your ntp.conf. I reported it to Mandriva as a bug a while back, but I don't know if it ever was fixed. It's not listed in their bug tracking system anymore. I ended up uninstalling the Mandriva ntpd distribution shortly after that and installed the official ntpd from www.ntp.org, which is what I recommend. -- Dennis Hilberg, Jr. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> NTP Server Information: http://saturn.dennishilberg.com/ntp.php _______________________________________________ timekeepers mailing list [email protected] https://fortytwo.ch/mailman/cgi-bin/listinfo/timekeepers
