I am just checking with upstream whether this behaviour is intentional. Given for how long the ntp code has been around, I guess is not just an oversight. As a workaround we could lower the timeout for each packet (default is 68 seconds), but sntp tries each IP address five times (i.e. it waits for five timeouts), before it moves on to the next address or fails finally, so even with -t1 it'll take at least five seconds. Unfortunately this repetition does not seem to be controllable from the command line. I think it'd be better if it looped five times over the IP list instead of trying each one five times before moving on to the next one. -- 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.
