Hi all, Following the suggestions regarding setting timekeeping up as a daemon I did the following and got these console messages . . . . . . Jul 14 13:04:29 epia ntpd[648]: no IPv6 interfaces found Jul 14 13:04:29 epia ntpd[648]: gethostby*.getanswer: asked for "europe.pool.ntp.org IN AAAA", got type "A" Jul 14 13:04:29 epia ntpd[648]: Frequency format error in /var/db/ntpd.drift Jul 14 13:05:44 epia ntpd[656]: no IPv6 interfaces found Jul 14 13:05:44 epia ntpd[656]: bind() fd 4, family 2, port 123, addr 0.0.0.0, i n_classd=0 flags=8 fails: Address already in use Jul 14 13:05:44 epia ntpd[656]: bind() fd 4, family 2, port 123, addr 192.168.2. 14, in_classd=0 flags=8 fails: Address already in use Jul 14 13:05:44 epia ntpd[656]: bind() fd 4, family 2, port 123, addr 127.0.0.1, in_classd=0 flags=0 fails: Address already in use Jul 14 13:05:45 epia ntpd[656]: gethostby*.getanswer: asked for "europe.pool.ntp .org IN AAAA", got type "A" Jul 14 13:05:45 epia ntpd[656]: Frequency format error in /var/db/ntpd.drift Jul 14 13:05:45 epia ntpd[656]: sendto(81.169.152.214): Bad file descriptor Jul 14 13:06:49 epia ntpd[656]: sendto(81.169.152.214): Bad file descriptor Jul 14 13:07:52 epia ntpd[656]: sendto(81.169.152.214): Bad file descriptor Jul 14 13:18:36 epia last message repeated 10 times Jul 14 13:28:20 epia last message repeated 5 times Jul 14 13:36:52 epia ntpd[656]: sendto(81.169.152.214): Bad file descriptor . . . The "Frequency format error in /var/db/ntpd.drift" messages have now gone away (which is a good thing) and the file has now been written to rather than being 0 bytes . . . epia# ls -al /var/db/ntpd.drift -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 6 Jul 14 14:05 /var/db/ntpd.drift epia# cat /var/db/ntpd.drift 0.000 . . . but I have no ideas why I'm getting the other errors. I can't see anything in the "ntp / ntpd" documentation or the "man" pages that offers any enlightenment. The (in)appropriate configurations are here: epia# ls -al /etc/rc.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 658 Jul 14 11:29 /etc/rc.conf /etc/rc.conf . . . <snip> ntpd_enable="YES" ntpd_flags="-q -p /var/run/ntpd.pid" ntpd_sync_on_start="YES" <snip> epia# ls -al /etc/ntp.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 125 Jul 14 12:31 /etc/ntp.conf epia# cat /etc/ntp.conf # # put your default configuration (e.g. broadcastclient) in here # server europe.pool.ntp.org driftfile /var/db/ntpd.drift FYI . . . europe.pool.ntp.org = 84.54.128.8 :-) localhost = 192.168.2.14 :-) h2348.serverkompetenz.net = 81.169.152.214 I have no idea why this gets a mention - I am in Germany though! Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks in anticipation. Owen ___________________________________________________________ Try the all-new Yahoo! Mail.
