If +any services require stable system clock, the ntpwait script should be run +before them as late as possible. + +The rc.d contains scripts for systems using rc.d init system (originated in +NetBSD). If a service requires stable system time, indicate it with TIMESYNC +dependency and set ntpwait_enable to YES. + +For SysV init systems, you'll have to create links as /etc/rc2.d/S20ntpd and +/etc/rc2.d/S80ntpwait yourself. (The numbers are just examples, try to give +ntpd as much time as possible to synchronize before running ntpwait). |
