I'm having problems figuring out how to set up my system to run ntpd on a dialup workstation. Unless root initiates the ppp connection I get: Aug 21 18:49:27 jrpenn ntpd: ntpd: must be run as root, not uid 1001 I tried chmod 4555 /usr/sbin/ntpd without any success. /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup: provider: !bg sendmail -q !bg /usr/sbin/ntpd -q -p /var/run/ntpd.pid /etc/ppp/ppp.linkdown: provider: !bg 'kill -HUP `cat /var/run/ntpd.pid`' -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 230068 17 Aug 23:21 /usr/sbin/ntpd -r-sr-xr-- 1 root network 307452 17 Aug 23:21 /usr/sbin/ppp -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 686 10 Aug 00:21 ppp.linkup user added to /etc/group: network:*:69:jeff Where do I need to change the permissions?. thanks Jeff To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
