If that's because it's trying to poll internet servers when you don't have an internet connection, and your connection is via PPP, try this: Reset your services so that NTP isn't started at boot. Make an /etc/ppp/ip-ip.local script like this: #!/bin/bash /sbin/service ntpd restart I rarely reboot my server, but noticed that NTP dies while you're off-line, and never recovers. It motivated me to find a simple solution. -- Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
