I'm not running a firewall on the machine in question. I am behind a firewall, if that's what you mean. I don't have a ppp connection. The box is a server that is running on bare metal, no VM. Fixed IP address (198.162) behind a NAT firewall. But, after booting, everything works correctly: # /etc/rc.d/ntpdate onestart Setting date via ntp. 5 Nov 18:09:31 ntpdate[1324]: step time server 128.10.254.7 offset -0.000537 sec > > This happens when there is a dependency that is not expressed in the > /etc/rc.d scripts. Can you elaborate? My rc.conf looks like this (pretty simple): hostname="example" ifconfig_sk0="inet 192.168.1.5 netmask 0xffffff00" defaultrouter="192.168.1.1" sshd_enable="YES" #Screensaver saver="daemon" #Encrypted swap geli_swap_flags="-d -l 256 -s 4096" #/tmp in memory tmpmfs="YES" #Kerberos kerberos5_server_enable="YES" kadmind5_server_enable="YES" #Time ntpdate_enable="YES" Also, the box is 8.2-RELEASE with current updates via freebsd-update.
