Aha, a re-install on Nov 18th indeed. That matches my theory. There hasn't been any ntp update for Fedora 8, however. And the package doesn't touch the run-level scripts. ntp defaults to off and doesn't remove any symlink until you uninstall the package. You can examine "rpm -q --scripts ntp" if you like. Looks very much as if you're chasing ghosts. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
