https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=733626 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=733626#c9 --- Comment #9 from Tony Mechelynck <antoine.mechelynck@belgacom.net> 2012-01-15 11:32:47 CET --- In reply to comment #8: Of course, but (on my system) ntpd is the only network program which is started "automatically" at bootup. Other network programs (browser, mail-news-RSS client, chat, YaST, zypper, FTP client) have to wait for a login (usually an X11 login; for zypper, ftp and YaST cursesUI it could also be a /dev/tty* login), and human reaction times being what they are, this gives the DSL connection the time it needs to become operational. Currently I'm down to 15 seconds sleep in that cron@reboot job (comment #7), and it is still long enough for the "restarted" NTPD to connect successfully to the time servers. -- 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.
