[Farkas Levente]

hi,
can't (re)start ntpd server on fc3. ie. after:
---------------------------------------
# /etc/init.d/ntpd restart
Shutting down ntpd:                                        [FAILED]
ntpd: Synchronizing with time server:                      [  OK  ]
Starting ntpd:                                             [  OK  ]
# ps axu|grep ntp
root     23165  0.0  0.0  4992  688 pts/0    S+   14:40   0:00 grep ntp
---------------------------------------
after i found it just test it:
---------------------------------------
# ntpd -n -u ntp:ntp -p /var/run/ntpd.pid
Segmentation fault
---------------------------------------
so i debug ntpd itself:
---------------------------------------
  gdb ntpd
