I'm sorry to be so dense on this subject... My question assumes that the box *has been upgraded* to 2.3_1 - perhaps yesterday. And nptd has been started just after the upgrade. Along comes a power failure. Then the power is restored to the box. When the pfSense within the box is running, is the ntpd running, or does it (again) need to be restarted manually? _______________________________________________ pfSense mailing list https://lists.pfsense.org/mailman/listinfo/list Support the project with Gold! https://pfsense.org/gold
