A few days ago, the time setting on my BO box somehow fell 10 minutes 
behind. I reset it manually from the GUI, and since then, no problems 
keeping good time. But, since that time, I've been seeing multiple error 
messages like these from ntpd:

Jan  1 17:11:47 www ntpd[3448]: sendto(65.255.xxx.xxx) (fd=-1): Bad file 
descriptor
Jan  1 17:12:28 www ntpd[3448]: sendto(174.133.xxx.xxx) (fd=-1): Bad 
file descriptor

I've stopped and restarted the ntpd daemon with the same error 
resulting. Is there something I need to do here, or is this relatively 
harmless?

Thanks!
Alan
