Also, what exactly does running as daemon in context of NTP mean or imply?
Like any other daemon, it just runs in the background.
I still don't understand how running as daemon in background differs operationally from how it works using the non-daemon YaST2 option.
Servers, including NTP normally run in that background. That is the user doesn't have to do anything to start the server etc. You can also manually start, stop or restart the servers running in the backround with the "rc" commands, such as rcntp start? With some servers, you can manually start them without using rc in front of the server name. You can also start them in the background by adding a "&" after the command. When you configure it in Yast, you are telling it to start as a dameon. Even changing a server configuration in Yast will generally cause a restart. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
