Ntpd was not intended to be bounced up and down like a basketball and I doubt very much that startup speed was a design consideration. As my systems tend to run for months between reboots, the startup behavior of ntpd is not terribly important to me. If, for some reason, you must reboot your systems daily and you need an accurate clock within seconds of booting, you will just have to find a tool better suited to the job than ntpd. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
