Hi all, I get a "Segmentation fault (core dumped)" on my system using ntpd. I checked the archives, and there is one messeage about something like this on a 405. Is anybody working on this ? Did I missed some patches ? cheers & thanks ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/

If you clock is sufficiently out of date.. (I.e. 50/60 more? years wrong) then you can get into an overflow situation. While I've never seen it segv, I have seen it do other 'interesting' things. Try setting your clock to Jan 1 2000, then run ntpd and see what happens. --Mark

No idea, but if you're using ELDK binaries, you might check with their mailing list. And then there's always compiling ntpd yourself and running it under gdb or gdbserver to see where it's crashing... - Dan -- Dan Kegel http://www.kegel.com http://counter.li.org/cgi-bin/runscript/display-person.cgi?user=78045 ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list.

I checked that already ;-) I set the clock manually before that, and the difference between the server and the local clock was less than a minute. Thanks ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
