Hi folks,
I've just built ntp (version 4.2.0a due to the gcc-4 fixes I need), and
installed the bootscript from blfs-bootscripts-2005-09-10. The ntp
bootscript takes anywhere between 17 seconds and 51 seconds to complete,
dependent on which servers I've configured in /etc/ntp.conf. This is *not*
acceptable during bootup, well not for me at least!
[ snip detailed exposition ]
I think it depends where you go for your timeservers - on my server
(normally up, modulo hardware changes and kernel crashes) I've commented
out the 'ntpd -gqx' with a note that I was getting an 'already running
message' (gcc-3.4.3, ntp-4.2.0). Works fine like this.
On my desktops/laptop (which get ntp from my server) the ntpd -gqx
works fine after bios resets (or ibook system resets) and results in
only a short delay during any boot. No detectable difference between
gcc-3.3.5/gcc-3.4.3/gcc-4.0.1 on the desktops (all with ntp-4.2.0, gcc4
with the patch).
Of course, it's possible this is a problem with 4.2.0a, or perhaps you
upgraded something else (e.g. the kernel) ?
