Hi, I have a box connected via u3g (Huawei E169) running OpenVPN with PKI certificates. It needs to synchronise time. I added ntpdate_enable="YES" ntpdate_flags="-b <my.ntpd.server.ip>" into rc.conf. Problem is, ntpdate timeouts, because network starts slowly in this case. I need ntpdate to wait somehow until ntp server is reachable. Due to USB used to connect 3G modem, ppp is started via devd event. Network start is a bit asynchronous, not ordered in rcorder sense. Could someone shed some lite on this for me? It looks a bit like synchronous DHCP - at least I think so. Any help appreciated. Regards, Milan
