Hi,
I have a box connected via u3g (Huawei E169) running OpenVPN with PKI

Better to fire it when the ppp link actually comes up. This could be
well after the machine boots since you might not immediately have
signal. If your ppp label is called gprs for example, in
/etc/ppp/ppp.linkup
add
gprs:
! /usr/sbin/ntpdate -s <your.ntp.ip>
---Mike
ntpdate_enable="YES"
ntpdate_flags="-b <my.ntpd.server.ip>"
into rc.conf. Problem is, ntpdate timeouts, because network starts slowly in
this case. I need ntpdate to wait somehow until ntp server is reachable. Due
to USB used to connect 3G modem, ppp is started via devd event. Network start
is a bit asynchronous, not ordered in rcorder sense.
Could someone shed some lite on this for me? It looks a bit like synchronous
DHCP - at least I think so.
Any help appreciated.

Milan
