I built sntp from 4.2.0b development source and it works when
everything is fine but seems to hang if it can't contact a server. I'm
trying to use sntp to initialize the system time in an embedded system
which doesn't have a battery-backed RTC. What I want to do is have
sntp run as soon as the network might be up and either set the time or
give up in a half a second or so and leave the time back in 1999.
- Should sntp timeout fairly quickly? Am I using it wrong or is it
buggy?
- Where in the Linux startup sequence is ntp/sntp usually run?
TIA.
Chris
