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.
