Hi, I would like to know if ntpd would use the driftfile specified in /etc/ ntp.conf file if it is run periodically using crontab with -q option as below: /usr/sbin/ntpd -u ntp:ntp -p /var/run/ntpd.pid -g -q -L eth0 I do not find any drift file being created at the specified location. Thanks and Regards, Prashant
