Per and all others:
Thank you for your suggestions. I will try first setup ntpd in yast and see if it affects bootup time. In the meantime I will look into network manager. I haven't used network manager so far because I preferred ifconfig and kinternet. Kinternet has been removed in oS 13.2, eventually I have to switch to nm, I guess. Chrony sounds interesting, I will investigate it too.
Leap does not use ifup, it uses... ugh, can't remember the name just now. Maybe you could hook a script on /etc/sysconfig/network/if-up.d, With NM my script activates when the network connects automatically. I don't know about ifup. It is not typical to use ifup on laptop without permanent network.
I have another question. In openSUSE 13.1 yast -> Network services -> NTP configuration -> Start NTP Daemon section there is an option "Synchronize without Daemon". Does this set up a chron job running sntp at given intervals?
Maybe.
(There's no ntpd in oS 13.1, it has been replaced by sntp.)
Yes, there is ntp in 13.1 minas-tirith:~ # which ntpd /usr/sbin/ntpd minas-tirith:~ # rpm -qf /usr/sbin/ntpd ntp-4.2.6p5-15.16.1.x86_64 minas-tirith:~ # cat /etc/os-release NAME=openSUSE VERSION="13.1 (Bottle)" VERSION_ID="13.1"
Maybe this would be the best choice. Yast help doesn't say anything about it, but it says:
Start NTP Daemon Select whether to start the NTP daemon now and on every system boot. The NTP daemon resolves host names when initializing. Your network connection must be started before the NTP daemon starts.
That's why I thought setting up the daemon may cause delays at boot.
Not unless something else waits for ntp to start and sync. I can't say, but I certainly do not start ntpd on my laptop. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
