https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=373267 Summary: Dovecot requires ntp which requires named operational Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Other AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: brian@theharrises.plus.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- The basic problem was that dovecot was aborting a few seconds after startup because ntp set the system time back 6 seconds after the system had been turned off a couple of days. There are two issues: Firstly /etc/init.d/dovecot needs ntp added to its 'Required Start' list. Secondly /etc/init.d/ntp needs the named daemon up and running. Although $named is in the /etc/init.d/ntp 'Required Start' list, the ntpdate command gets issued before named is operational, causing ntpdate to fail. A simple work-around is to sleep 3 seconds before issuing the ntpdate command. -- 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.
