Hi,

With 5.3, running named (cashing nameserver only) and ntpd to sync
the time, I see in /var/log/messages about twice a day a line like
this:

   Nov 11 05:41:44 para named[356]: *** POKED TIMER ***
   Nov 11 14:51:09 para named[355]: *** POKED TIMER ***

What does this mean? Is it still a bug in 5.3?

Thanks,
