On Bering-1.0, using ntpdate, shorewall, dnscache, tinydns.

During boot, ntpdate runs right after hwclock, during rc.S, before
shorewall, before tinydns, before dnscache:  RCDLINKS="S,S51"

/etc/rcS.d/
22 Jan 21 17:37 S10checkroot.sh -> ../init.d/checkroot.sh
18 Jan 21 17:37 S20modutils -> ../init.d/modutils
21 Jan 21 17:37 S35mountall.sh -> ../init.d/mountall.sh
18 Jan 21 17:37 S39ifupdown -> ../init.d/ifupdown
21 Jan 21 17:37 S40hostname.sh -> ../init.d/hostname.sh
20 Jan 21 17:37 S40networking -> ../init.d/networking
21 Jan 21 17:37 S45mountnfs.sh -> ../init.d/mountnfs.sh
17 Jan 21 17:37 S50hwclock -> ../init.d/hwclock
17 Jan 21 17:37 S51ntpdate -> ../init.d/ntpdate               <====
21 Jan 21 17:37 S55bootmisc.sh -> ../init.d/bootmisc.sh
17 Jan 21 17:37 S55urandom -> ../init.d/urandom


This can't work during boot, as my network needs the
firewall and nameservice to be completely functional.



Am I the only one who thinks ntpdate should run here,
not in rcS, but in rc2?   RCDLINKS="2,S90"

/etc/rc2.d/
19 Jan 21 17:37 S41shorewall -> ../init.d/shorewall
18 Jan 21 17:37 S45dnscache -> ../init.d/dnscache
17 Jan 21 17:37 S47tinydns -> ../init.d/tinydns
14 Jan 21 17:37 S89cron -> ../init.d/cron
17 Jan 21 17:37 S90ntpdate -> ../init.d/ntpdate            <------
19 Jan 21 17:37 S99rmnologin -> ../init.d/rmnologin


Conceptually, should the system be trying to run
client services over the network during boot to
admin state?  I don't think that's in the spirit
of init S.

Matthew
