1 Define crashing?

3 This looks more like problems with yout TZ variables than ntpd.
4
5 try "ntpq -p" to check if its actually running/locked. If ntpd is
6 freewheeling, it is prpbably because your time is too far from lock so
7 it will silently fail (default config).
8
9 If ntpd has really crashed (ps aux will confirm), try running the daemon
10 manually from a console - if it "segfaults" or comes up with a missing
11 library, try "ldd /usr/sbin/ntpd" to find which lib is needed and fix.

24 Hi,
25
26 Can anyone give me any pointers as to how to diagnose a problem with
27 ntpd crashing. My time keeps defaulting to 5 hours earlier than it
28 should.
29
30 There's nothing in dmesg when I do dmesg | grep time, or dmesg | grep
31 ntp, but /etc/init.d/ntpd status tells me that ntpd has crashed.
