In [2] we proved that if X admits a complete uniform structure, the intersection of the free maximal ideals in C(x) is precisely Ck(X), the ring of functions with compact support. In the present paper we are able to sharpen this result somewhat and give necessary and sufficient conditions on a space X so that this conclusion holds. Both our previous result and that of Kohls for p-spaces follow as special cases of our theorem.
