System: FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE #1: Thu May 19 2005
>Description:
If an NTP daemon has reference clocks, it will need symbolic links
in /dev which are described in /etc/devfs.conf. Hence,
/etc/rc.d/devfs should run before /etc/rc.d/ntpd, but rcorder sorts
it later.
>How-To-Repeat:
rcorder /etc/rc.d/*
>Fix:
Have a line
# REQUIRE: devfs
in /etc/rc.d/ntpd
This however collides with "LOGIN", which is required by devfs and
has a "BEFORE" in ntpd so you get a circular dependency. I've left
the "BEFORE: LOGIN" out of /etc/rc.d/ntpd, but I'm not sure about
it.
