7 with certain GNU/Linux distributions. Maybe one of you can shed some light on this?

9 Typical problems
10 "Out of memory"
11
12 Some linux distributions defaults to only allowing an application to lock 32KB memory. An ntpd in
13 the pool requires more than that. In the ntpd startup script (often /etc/init.d/ntpd) add this
14 before ntpd is started:

16 ulimit -l 8192
