If that address is not assigned for a reason (as this is an installation option), sntp tries to sync with this. sntp OTOH is not smart enough to detect, that this address doesn't exist at all, and waits forever (well a couple of minutes at least..) for a response. This has some potential to circumvent proper booting. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. disable 127.0.0.2 asssignment in /etc/hosts (is available) 2. start ntp configuration 3. add a server (I'm using a local one), set to sync now and on boot Actual Results: ntp hangs, due to: /usr/sbin/sntp -s 127.0.0.2 Expected Results: either make sntp smart enough to detect non existent local addresses or prevent it from syncing against 127.0.0.2. -- 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.
