this is great, thank you. I now have bootlogd running! (found htis
out when I finally had an opportunity to reboot, bit of a stressful
weekend). COmmenting out a bunch of modules helped my problems,
thanks much for that help folks.
I notice now that bootup is stalling on ntpdate. Here's what I see on
bootlog...
Tue Oct 4 21:13:32 2005: Running ntpdate to synchronize clockError :
Temporary failure in name resolution
Tue Oct 4 21:14:12 2005: .
so it hangs for about a minute. I assume that the internet connection
has not been brought up yet when ntpdate is run... any suyggestions
what I should do?
If it's a name resolution problem, then try using the IP address of a
reliable time server, like your ISP's. If it's a time out issue then
you can try lengthening the timeout period using the -t option. Try both
if you're not sure.
The init script for ntpdate is currently
/etc/rcS.d/S51ntpdate, which i think is the default.
That's just a link. The init script is /etc/init.d/ntpdate, but even
that is not what you want. In debian, init scripts have files of the same
name in /etc/default, reserved for custom configuration, so you can add the
changes there (in /etc/default/ntpdate).
thanks!
