The difference is that ntpdate runs in the foreground, blocking the boot-process for a fraction of a second, but ntpd forks-off into the background and takes a lot longer over making its initial correction. If you're dead set against using ntpdate, you could use the preferred ntpd -gnq in it's place, at the expense of about 10 seconds of extra boot time. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
