Hello,
I'm puzzled by the /etc/rc.d/ntpdate script and
I wonder whether the script is wrong, or there
is lack of documentation here.
In /etc/rc.conf, I am using:
ntpdate_enable="YES"
ntpd_enable="YES"
with servers listed in /etc/ntp.conf.
But I wonder if ntpdate instantly adjusts time
using the "-b" from default ntpdate_flags.
The flags used by the /etc/rc.d/ntpdate script
are found in this order:
1. If /etc/ntp.conf exists and has servers
listed, then extract the servers from here.
2. If above fails to find servers, then use
servers listed in /etc/rc.conf as
ntpdate_flags="...".
3. If all that fails, exit ntpdate without doing
any time/date modifications.
I also wonder whether the default ntpdate_flags
(set to "-b") has any effect at all, since it is
ignored in case 1.
Is something wrongly configured here?
Regards,
Rob.
