I know next to nothing about ntp, but have just been reading the ntp documentation, and I notice that ntpd will apparently die (whether silently or not was not clear) if it detects certain contradictions between its time-servers and the internal clock. Could this conceivable happen in your case? How many time-servers do you use? There seems to be continuing development of ntp , though as far as I am concerned the algorithms have become unintelligible. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
