Why do you want to create an ntp.conf file, if you don't run ntpd? The ntpdate init script does have defaults, falling back to: 0.debian.pool.ntp.org 1.debian.pool.ntp.org 2.debian.pool.ntp.org 3.debian.pool.ntp.org You can also override that in /etc/default/ntpdate, it is a config file. Maybe you should try and explain what your problem is. Kurt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
