Subject:   Should ntpdate REQUIRE named?
Message-ID:  <43C97EB0.4090306@FreeBSD.org>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
Question came up on -stable yesterday about a user who has ntp servers by 
hostname in ntp.conf, and because of an unrelated ordering problem ntp[date] 
started before named, so they failed. On all the systems I've examined, 
named starts right after SERVERS, and ntpdate right after that. While there 
are theoretically good reasons why one might want it the other way around, I 
think for the vast majority of our users named should start first.

Any comments, objections?

Doug
