Hi,
Help, please.
When I try to start 'ntpd' on a netbsd system, I get 'sendto(32.33.33.1): Bad file descriptor' error message
and the ntpd daemon does not start.
A search on the internet tells that this kind of error message is seen if there is an existing ntpd daemon is running and the
use is starting another daemon. But I did not have any daemon running prior to my execution of the ntpd command.
I have the following entry in my /etc/ntp.conf
server 32.33.33.1
restrict 127.0.0.1
The command I used is:
# ./ntpd -c /etc/ntp.conf
# Jul 9 07:18:28 Ericsson ntpd[981]: sendto(32.33.33.1): Bad file descriptor
Here is the debug log of the 'ntpd' I tried to run.
Debug log of ntpd
-----------------
Jul 9 07:18:27 ntpd[981]: ntpd 4.2.0-r Fri Jun 17 14:21:33 PDT 2011 (1)
Jul 9 07:18:27 ntpd[981]: precision = 1.000 usec
Jul 9 07:18:27 ntpd[981]: kernel time sync status 0040
Jul 9 07:18:28 Ericsson ntpd[981]: sendto(32.33.33.1): Bad file descriptor
I've never seen that error but sometimes my /var/run entry
for ntpd doesn't get deleted and ntpd refuses to run with
an error that ntpd is already running. In that case removal
of the file in /var/run is all that's needed.
