Hi, I have a router configured, which must properly synchronize time at bootup. For that purpose I use ntpdate to instantly adjust the time, then have let ntpd keep syncing time while running. All info for ntpdate and ntpd comes from /etc/ntp.conf. (ntpd also becomes the server of the local network, but that's now not so relevant) However, there seems to be something really odd when network access is needed for ntpdate; it simple cannot, and no time adjustment is done. Strangely enough: after bootup I can manually do the same ntpdate command, and it all works. Whatever I tried, nothing seems to help to get ntpdate do its work at bootup. My guess would be that there's something wrong with the bootup scripts or the sequence the scripts are called. The full bootup output, rc.conf and ntp.conf files are here: http://cisr.snu.ac.kr/ntpdate.txt I hope this may give an idea what is going wrong here. Thanks, Rob. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - You care about security. So do we. http://promotions.yahoo.com/new_mail
