ntpdate fixes ?

[Bill Hart]

I'm running Hobbit on an FC6 box and had some problems in the past with
it giving me a core file and crashing out.  I did a fresh install with
the Feb 9 allinonepatch and it cleared up. 

Since then I've had 2 core files show up in the server directory.  Both
point to ntpdate as the culprit:

[hobbit at hobbit server]$ gdb ntpdate core.29335

Core was generated by `ntpdate -u -q -p 2 10.1.2.35 SED=/bin/sed

Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.

(gdb) quit


Searching the archives revealed a thread in Sept. of last year talking
about changing the way hobbit dealt with time stuff.  When I run the
ntpdate command manually I get all sorts of interesting errors, but it's
acting like it is trying to find each of those entries as a server, so
I'm wondering if I should just be playing with the command to get it to
not send out errors ... if that would straighten out the core problems.
