Hi,

I've been trying out 3.1-beta2 and there seems to be a problem with the
openntpd package. This is different from 3.1-beta1.

The problem is with file etc/default/openntpd and the resultant
behaviour of the openntpd daemon. At boot time, once there's a working
network connection, all you see on the console is messages from the
openntpd daemon. There's no login prompt.

Looking at SourceForge I think I've traced the cause of the change.

In the v1.3 openntpd.lrp from [leaf]/bin/packages/uclibc-0.9/28, file
etc/default/openntpd says:
    DAEMON_OPTS=" -d"

whereas in the v1.2 .lrp it says:
    DAEMON_OPTS="-s"

The latest source ([leaf]/src/bering-uclibc/apps/openntpd, file
openntpd.default, v1.1) says "-s", which I believe is the correct
setting.

According to the man page at
http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ntpd "-s" means "Set the
time immediately at startup if the local clock is off by more than 180
seconds."

The problem with "-d" is that it makes openntpd *not* daemonize, so it
stays in the foreground when started as part of the boot process.
