I'd like to let you all know that I don't think the problem is as widespread as I originally thought. After tens of restarts of ntpd processes I've never experienced any problem synchronizing. No more hung 'ntpd -q' processes either. I suspect the latter was a consequence of my server having problems synchronizing. Michal --------- I installed openntpd considering that it should run with reduced privileges. The Workgroup did not sync up right away and I reinstalled NTP4. Currently, I can sync Window XP and Windows 98.
