Description Brian Conway 2012-07-11 17:30:01 UTC 
In base, the rc.d script for ntpd includes a REQUIRE: ntpdate, which allows ntpdate to initially set the time, followed by running ntpd.

It appears openntpd's rc.d script has no such REQUIRE:, and I frequently find that openntpd will start first, and ntpdate cannot run and set the initial time. This can be a pain on a system that is significantly skewed on cold boot.

Fix: 

Update /usr/local/etc/rc.d/openntpd to include:

# REQUIRE: DAEMON ntpdate

For reference, ntpd's rc-script includes all of the following (may not be relevant):

# REQUIRE: DAEMON ntpdate cleanvar devfs

Thanks.
How-To-Repeat: Include in rc.conf, after installing openntpd port:

ntpdate_enable="YES"
ntpdate_hosts="us.pool.ntp.org"
openntpd_enable="YES"

Boot the system.

Comment 2 Christian Weisgerber freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2012-07-17 15:35:58 UTC 
State Changed
From-To: open->closed

Instead of running ntpdate, you should really just set openntpd_flags="-s" 
to make openntpd set the time immediately at startup. 

However, I agree that the combination should be possible, so I have 
committed the change.  Thanks!
