https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D243469 Bug ID: 243469 Summary: net/ntimed daemon command does not use "-r" Product: Ports & Packages Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Some People Priority: --- Component: Individual Port(s) Assignee: feld@FreeBSD.org Reporter: karl@denninger.net Flags: maintainer-feedback?(feld@FreeBSD.org) Assignee: feld@FreeBSD.org The net/ntimed package/port rc script does not use the "-r" flag on the dae= mon command by default. This would not normally be a problem if the package itself did not exit on start under some temporary conditions, but it does. Specifically, if the network is not yet available (e.g. the machine boots before the upstream ro= uter to the Internet does, thus there is no resolver available) ntimed will exit= on an error and, since daemon was not told to restart it if that happens, you = now have no time sync and there's no particular indication to the user that it happened other than the error on the console shortly after the boot. IMHO the default should be to restart it; if you have asked for time sync by loading this as a lightweight client (instead of ntpd, for instance) you probably mean it. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
