Is there a way to make sure that the interface is UP and working before running ntpdate at boot on a box with a static IP address?
After setting ntpdate_enable="YES" in rc.conf, I get the following error on boot: Setting date via ntp. Error : hostname nor servname provided, or not known 5 Nov 17:11:05 ntpdate[786]: can't find host 0.freebsd.pool.ntp.org Error : hostname nor servname provided, or not known 5 Nov 17:11:05 ntpdate[786]: can't find host 1.freebsd.pool.ntp.org Error : hostname nor servname provided, or not known 5 Nov 17:11:05 ntpdate[786]: can't find host 2.freebsd.pool.ntp.org 5 Nov 17:11:05 ntpdate[786]: no servers can be used, exiting I've had this problem with machines using DHCP and the solution was to use SYNCDHCP rather than DHCP in rc.conf. However, this box is using a static IP address. But the problem seems to be similar.
