John, you are absolutely right! I added the flags you suggested and now ntpd starts and stops as expected. Thank you! Just in case, I still can't get -L flag work, exactly as described here: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=bin/128886 Have you any idea about it? :) Best, Maurizio Il 25/03/2013 02:27, John Marshall ha scritto: >> Calling /etc/rc.d/ntpd stop issue an error "ntpd not running?
