The NTP daemon appears to start normally based on entries in "syslog", but dies almost immediately afterward with the following message: Apr 13 08:34:09 smirkin ntpd[6676]: Cannot find user ID 110 The appropriate user and group entries exist in /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, /etc/group, /etc/gshadow. Current "ntp" package version is 1:4.2.8p10+dfsg-1. --Bob
