Turns out it is a problem with the very first server in the list. If I remove it then ntpd starts perfectly. This is rather odd as I still have a Linux box using the original file with no problems. It is also add that the result is a core dump rather than a nice error message in the syslog. But such is life. Thanks again, Rich
