-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Because of clock drift on my system, I decided to run ntpdate daily, instead of just at boot time. So, what I did was create a symlink in /etc/periodic/daily: 600.ntpdate -> /etc/rc.d/ntpdate, thus leveraging the existing ntpdate script that runs at boot time. My rc.conf already has 'ntpdate_enable="YES"' and sets 'ntpdate_program' and 'ntpdate_hosts'. In fact, if I cd to /etc/periodic/daily and manually enter './600.ntpdate start', it runs fine. Yet, it appears that ntpdate is NOT running automatically each day as part of periodic daily processing. Any ideas on why this is the case? Is there a restriction about symlinks and periodic processing? Thanks.
