Comment:
That's because it runs from a udev rule now; see 55-lfs.rules:
{{{
# This causes the system clock to be set as soon as /dev/rtc becomes
available.
SUBSYSTEM=="rtc", MODE="0644", ACTION=="add",
RUN+="/etc/rc.d/init.d/setclock start"
}}}
Leaving this open, however, as there has been some discussion lately that
seems to point to a need to duplicate that rule for KERNEL=="rtc" (old
non-rtc-class kernels) as well as SUBSYSTEM=="rtc". (We should probably
also reorder the keys, to put the MODE assignment after the ACTION match.)
If hwclock is getting run, this isn't a bug. If it doesn't run, then I
would suspect you can get it to run by changing SUBSYSTEM to KERNEL in
that rule (or by adding a duplicate).
As far as kill links go: We removed those a couple releases ago. See the
BLFS book's section on ntpd if you want them. (We figure in the absence
of an external time source, there's no particular reason to believe that
the system clock is any more accurate than the hardware clock. Non-timer
hardware interrupts, along with the fact that the kernel is not real-time,
make it jitter, or drift completely.)
