The problem is the use of mixed quote-ing [" '] attempting to run
a process instead of the expected constant " ".
try instead:
ntpdate_flags=`echo \-bs;awk '/^server|^peer/{ print $2 }' /etc/ntp.conf`
Nope. The code in /stand/sysinstall that updates rc.conf files -- which I
just went and read -- will rewrite this to be:
ntpdate_flags="/^server|^peer/{ print $2 }"
At least that's what I think it will do, I didn't actually run it.
