However, devfs.conf rules are currently aplied after ntpd had been started and that's why ntpd won't see the link. >How-To-Repeat: Try to sync ntpd to an HP GPS receiver using /dev/hpgps0. >Fix: --- /etc/rc.d/ntpd.ORI Wed Apr 20 15:24:32 2005 +++ /etc/rc.d/ntpd Wed Jun 22 15:30:10 2005 @@ -5,8 +5,7 @@ # # PROVIDE: ntpd -# REQUIRE: DAEMON -# BEFORE: LOGIN +# REQUIRE: DAEMON devfs # KEYWORD: nojail . /etc/rc.subr I had to remove the BEFORE: statement before rcorder would have complained otherwise: root@timefix:~>rcorder /etc/rc.d/* >/dev/null rcorder: Circular dependency on provision `LOGIN' in file `/etc/rc.d/devfs'. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
