http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=494784 Summary: ntpd service script alterations (some cosmetical fixes) and ntptimeset changes to use ntpd -q Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: x86 OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3 Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: Network AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: angel@uah.es QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.5) KHTML/3.5.7 (like Gecko) SUSE Hi! ntptimeset uses ntp to set initial time (when no daemon seems to be running) If you set NTPD_START = no then my script uses ntpd -q (among other settings) to mimic ntpdate but with this "new" -q switch (as manual page say is future). As being on 10.3 maybe its outdated and later versioan anr better but if you find useful please use it. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. /etc/init.d/ntpd ntptimeset 2. 3. Actual Results: with NTPD_START = no , no deamon is present. Network scripts should call it on network changes and optionally cron.hourly shell script can keep the time provided system time doesnt skew to fast. Expected Results: No deemon running, and memory resouces freed. With sysconfig NTPD_START = yes nomral behaviour is expected (deamon starts and ntptime set doesnt do anything while is still alive) List mates on opensuse-es suggest later releases 11.x may have diferent setups on this script. I dont know, im just fine on 10.3. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
