Would empty quotes work here? >Reboot and you're off and rolling. Ouch! No need to reboot. Just start xntpd (as root) by hand. A simple "xntpd" does it. It backgrounds itself. I kill the old one and launch a new one every time I dial in via PPP. Leave the old one running in order for it to continually apply the drift corrections. Kill it when I dial in because I get a different IP address each time and the old xntpd is still bind'ed via my prior IP address. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@tomcat1.tbe.com (wk), dkelly@hiwaay.net (hm) ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
