[root@coyote etc]# rpm -qa --last|grep ntp ntp-4.2.4p4-1.fc8 Tue 18 Nov 2008 11:34:03 AM EST [root@coyote etc]# grep ntp /var/log/yum.log [root@coyote etc]# I don't usually reboot this box unless I've built a new kernel, currently running 2.6.28, but I rebooted to knoppmyth yesterday to see if the live would work (it didn't, couldn't even ping localhost), and when I rebooted to 2.6.28 is when I found my grub.conf had been cleaned out too, by the kernel rpm I'd let puplet install a couple of hours before. I had posted to lkml in the slashdot new years eve crash thread, that something had killed ntpd at or shortly before midnight GMT and I had to restart it 3 days later. Unforch the log is dated in uptime ticks, making it difficult to translate to realtime, GMT or otherwise. I think now that it didn't restart after I'd built 2.6.28 and rebooted, which would have placed it earlier in the week of new years. With the missing link in /etc/rc3.d it was never started. The rcX.d links were and are still ok, and I have restored the missing link in rc3.d now. >From the above schedule dates, it looks as if my hard drive, a brand new Seagate 500Gb sata is being forgetful. And I expire my logwatch mail fairly quickly so the yum records in the logwatch reports are gone in 15 days.

Only upon unstalling the "ntp" package from your >system, it also stops the service and removes the run-level symlinks. I am sure it was there after the re-install on Nov 18th, and I'm the only user, so that leaves the possibility that ext3 has done an ntfs on me, and deleted a random file. ntfs has that propensity, usually the most important .dll on the system. And M$ will NOT replace it by any means other than buying and installing a fresh copy of ntfs, 3.51 or 4.0. Been there done that. 3 times even. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
