Hi Marco, I think you're getting bitten by the "memlock" problem with some versions of glibc. If you put 'memlock' into the bugzilla search box you'll see about 6 hits. Please see if putting: rlimit memlock 0 into your ntp.conf file will fix this. -- Harlan Stenn <stenn at ntp.org> http://networktimefoundation.org - be a member!
