Dear All I have just upgraded the processor of my computer to a P4 Dual Core. I have also meanwhile installed kernel-smp. However, the time is not set correctly. I have tried # /sbin/service ntpd status ntpd (pid 2052) is running... ]# /sbin/service ntpd restart Shutting down ntpd: [ OK ] Starting ntpd: [ OK ] # ntpstat unsynchronised time server re-starting polling server every 64 s # /sbin/service ntpd --full-restart Shutting down ntpd: [ OK ] Starting ntpd: [ OK ] # /usr/sbin/ntpdate de.pool.ntp.org 16 Aug 23:35:31 ntpdate[2913]: the NTP socket is in use, exiting ]# Any ideas? Thanks in advance, Paul
