Yeah, makes sense. It also worked like that (correctly, that is) in rc.network. > > I do see one contraindication to this behavior. Most routing protocols > also react badly to time changes.

The following patch should solve your problem. However, it's only a partial solution. It fixes the case for ntpd and ntpdate but not for other network daemons like rpcbind, which still get started _before_ the routing daemons. I haven't included patches for those because sorting out the dependencies is going to be a bit more involved. I'll have it done when I get a chance later this week. (A consequence of this is going to be that we will be moving *away* from NetBSD in the dependency ordering, but we can sort that out with them later).
