Quite correct. But is there any reason ntpd will not start after ntpdate has
run? This would seem to be the case from rc.network.
:
:
network_pass2() {
echo -n 'Doing additional network setup:'
case ${named_enable} in
[Yy][Ee][Ss])
echo -n ' named'; ${named_program:-named} ${named_flags}
;;
esac
case ${ntpdate_enable} in
[Yy][Ee][Ss])
echo -n ' ntpdate'
${ntpdate_program:-ntpdate} ${ntpdate_flags} >/dev/null 2>&1
;;
esac
case ${xntpd_enable} in
[Yy][Ee][Ss])
echo -n ' ntpd'; ${xntpd_program:-ntpd} ${xntpd_flags}
;;
esac
