Where does it come from? Should I > enable it?) missing the newest ntp. A mirror cannot be missing a single file from a set of packages built from the same src.rpm. As explained before, it either has the newest metadata or not. If it has the newest metadata with "ntpdate" and "ntp-perl" in it, it also has "ntp" in it. The actual pkg file is here, btw (which is the mirror listed in your Yum output), but files are not accessed prior to the final downloading step. ftp://ftp.solnet.ch/pub/fedora/linux/updates/9/i386.newkey/ntp-4.2.4p5-2.fc9.i386.rpm > Or are the yum plugns I'm using > messing up things?
