See http://cisr.snu.ac.kr/ntpdate2.txt for the bootup process. I'm really puzzled why ntpdate is behaving so strange here. Is there a race condition between the network setup and ntpdate ? What makes it difficult to investigate, is that it only happens at bootup; after bootup, the ntpdate command works just fine! Yes, indeed I can avoid using ntpdate, but I believe there's something of a bootup bug here, which might be worthwhile finding.... Regards, Rob. _______________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
