Harumph. Personally, I've never seen ntpdate hang, I've only deferred it because it's not useful until my ppp connection is up. It's clear that xntpd should start after ntpdate -b has had a chance to run. If ntpdate really can hang, then perhaps the whole bit with ntpdate, and starting xntpd should be backgrounded. -- Raul -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
