Hi
 
Check the ntp.conf file if the drift file is configured to /etc/ntp/drift .
 
usually the drift file will be in /var/lib/ntp/drift, change the dift file to /var/lib/ntp/drift and try starting the ntpd daemon
 
 
Regards
Karthik

Hi,

I see this error in a couple of redhat server.

# more /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 5)

# uname -a
Linux narheapp017.nielsenmedia.com 2.6.9-55.0.2.EL #1 Tue Jun 12 17:47:10
EDT 2007 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux

# service ntpd status
ntpd dead but pid file exists

What could have caused this situation?

Please suggest.
Thanks.

First find the pid and kill them.
Sometimes the pid still exixting, while the services is not running.

Thanks-
Shankar
