Checked on google, questions, but no answers. Any clues?
I believe it is related to the change in the 2.6.8 kernel. This happened to me when I ran 2.6.9 with 9.1. I found out there is a capability module which if loaded allowed xntpd (and bind) to work, but I couldn't figure out how it is supposed to load, so I compiled it into the kernel and no more problems. It is the same change that affected cdrecord.
This box and the x86_64 laptop are both running 2.6.10-rc3, the laptop is fine. The config files are the same on this box and the other laptop which currently is running the SuSE 2.6.4-24.default. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce .... Hamradio G3VBV and keen Flyer =====LINUX ONLY USED HERE=====
