Actually I wouldn't notice the adjustment at all except that certain system messages put things on the tty1 screen. So since I'm logging on to the console instead of using some {Display Manager's} gui login screen, there is {echoed?} to the screen a short oneline message about the adjustment that includes several digits with a "." in the middle that I'm assuming is a reference to how big the change was. At that point I don't have gpm working so lets pretend it says "NTP: adjust RTC [0000012.0000001]" n which case if I were starting to login as jtwdyp I might see:
myhost login: jtwd NTP: adjust RTC [0000012.0000001]yp Password:
Or some such thing. So unless the ntpd called from rc.local is NOT supposed to leave a message on tty1, I don't think that's a bug.
Not a bug. Just add `2>&1 /dev/null' at the end of your line. -- -- Kwpolska (http://kwpolska.co.cc) stop html mail | always bottom-post www.asciiribbon.org | www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html GPG KEY: 5EAAEA16 | Arch Linux x86_64, zsh, mutt, vim. # vim:set textwidth=70:
