Thank you!

Temperatures mentioned in the md.log file are around 3.0 10^2 K, as
desired.

grpopts:
   nrdf:             521.971       53943

8991 water molecules are present. Assuming 6 degrees of freedom (I used
rigid water) will result in a total of 53946 degrees of freedom, which
correlates with the second number. The first should have to do something
with my protein, but I cannot exactly figure out how.

It seems that the simulation has run correctly, but that g_traj generates
the wrong output. Is there any way I could fix this? Are there other
g_** programs that are vulnerable for the value of the degrees of freedom?

BTW: (I've checked cut-off as well as PME and gen forcefield, it all
resulted in the 2/3 temperature output from g_traj)

Greetings, Pim
