Well, I think that script should be considered a background action. Often times, network interfaces are now brought up implicitly and without a terminal being visible. Therefore all the error messages go to the log file. Even if the 2>/dev/null were removed, you still wouldn't see most error messages, because they are in the log. (In fact, they should *all* go the log, and the fact that some do not is a sign of a fault in ntpdate.) And suggesting not to send the errors to the log at all would be a mistake in my opinion. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
