[gmx-users] (Implicit solvation)Initial temperature changes to 0 K

I am trying to run a simulation of single Na ion in implicit solvent(water),
with OPLSAA FF in gromacs 4.5.7. After running the simulation and viewing
the .log file I find that the initial temperature is set to 0 K even though
I have mentioned a ref_t as 300 K. Why does this happen? Any help is much
appreciated
