Requested log files
Michael,
sorry for the delay. I've been unable to get back to this earlier.
The fact that you requested the logs made me assume that you are unable to
duplicate the behaviour. While logs from the original bug report have been
collected on pc-martin5, I've now installed openSUSE 10.3 once more from
scratch, on a new hard disk in a different machine called pc-martin4. The
attached file contains 3 subdirs with sets of log files from 3 different tests.
I've just installed from the DVD (the charged Novell edition, if that matters),
conventional ifup networking, configured ntpd via yast, and ran the test
procedure:
- stop ntpd if it has been running
- clear /var/log/messages
- clear /var/log/ntp
- set the system time back ~ 1 hour
- reboot
1. Configured pc-martin4 for just a single NTP server on our local intranet,
host name gateway. In this case ntpd survived the boot procedure and was still
living after runlevel 5 had been entered. See the log files in pc-martin4-ok.
2. Retried on pc-martin5 with the procedure described above. ntpd was again
dead when runlevel 5 had been reached. Symptoms as described originally, and
comlete log files in pc-martin5-not-ok.
3. Saw that pc-martin5 had been configured to use the pool servers, which
generates 3 server lines in ntp.conf, so changed the configuration on
pc-martin4 also to use 3 pool servers instead of 1 local NTP server. This time
ntpd was also dead on pc-martin4 when runlevel 5 had been reached. see logs in
pc-martin4-not-ok.
I'm not sure yet whether this happened because 3 vs. 1 upstream servers have
been configured, or because the pool servers are on the WAN whereas the single
server was on the local network, or just occasionally.
Anyway I think it's a timing problem caused by the rcntp script being run
several times, and the final start which should succeed just fails because
ntpdate or ntpd from an earlier start has not yet finished.
Martin
