I was getting that message when xntpd was running. HAL9000:/etc/init.d# ntpdate tock.usno.navy.mil 19 Jan 11:51:49 ntpdate[1204]: step time server 192.5.41.41 offset -27.728177 sec HAL9000:/etc/init.d# ./xntp3 start Starting /usr/sbin/xntpd... HAL9000:/etc/init.d# ntpdate tock.usno.navy.mil 19 Jan 11:52:00 ntpdate[1208]: the NTP socket is in use, exiting HAL9000:/etc/init.d# ./xntp3 stop HAL9000:/etc/init.d# ntpdate tock.usno.navy.mil 19 Jan 11:52:09 ntpdate[1211]: adjust time server 192.5.41.41 offset -0.047750 sec Try killing xntpd before doing the ntpdate, then restarting xntpd afterward. Or just kill xntpd period. I'm really not sure what the relationship is between the two - other than they won't play nice together. ;) -- Mike Werner KA8YSD | "Where do you want to go today?"
