I propose a) calling sntp with -t 2 (which for some reason causes timeout after 10 seconds (with -t 4 after 20 seconds)) and b) dhcpcd cleaning these leftover entries at start Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. do dhcp in a subnet with broadcasted ntp services (on ethernet and wlan) like SUSE's 10.10.x.x network 2. do dhcp in a wlan elsewhere Actual Results: boot hangs Expected Results: should boot or at least timeout boot hung with both systemd and sysVinit -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
