I find ntpd to be time taking during the boot process. There will of course be some explanation of this. I can also possibly try using nearby servers/switches that support ntp to reduce the time.
However ntpd is a service that I afford to start even after the boot. It does not need to delay my getting a login prompt. Is there any way to start a service in the background in NetBSD? Alternatively, is there any way to configure ntpd to start in background? Mayuresh
