Thanks: I will give your script a try.

FYI: it has worked fine for about 15 years of my using FreeBSD until =
recently!

The other solution would be for ntpd to not just give up the first time =
it looks for the net.  It could try again a minute later and it would =
work just fine.  Apparently it never tries a second time!

This is something that should just work out of the box, IMHO.

Thanks everyone for your help!
