Every time I reboot my server, I get two ntpd processes: nlandys@daffy# ps -U root | grep ntpd PID TT STAT TIME COMMAND 571 ?? Ss 0:00.12 /usr/sbin/ntpd -c /etc/ntp.conf -p /var/run/ntpd.pid 686 ?? S 0:00.00 /usr/sbin/ntpd -c /etc/ntp.conf -p /var/run/ntpd.pid When I run '/etc/rc.d/ntpd stop' it kills the first process in the output above but leaves the second one. I must manually kill this second process and then run '/etc/rc.d/ntpd start' to get ntpd to function normally, otherwise [while there are 2 processes running] ntpd does not seem to keep the clock in sync. Please help.
