 |
|
Hello together,
I have added "ntp-client" to my default runlevel.
But unfortunately on boot I get the message:
| Code: |
...
ntp-client ... [ OK ]
cupsd ... [ OK ]
local: waiting for ntp-client (50 seconds)
...
|
This delays the boot very long (don't know if it is exactly 50s) until the console login appears.
How can this be improved? I want to login as early as possible. ntp-client should be somwhere in background, but not blocking the console login. |

Did you figure out anything on this. I have the same issue. I guess I could disable ntp-client for now to avoid this. It seems weird to me that anything is dependent on ntp-client however.

You can set up timeout and sample count in /etc/conf.d/ntp-client file
| Code: | | NTPCLIENT_OPTS="-s -b -u -p 1 -t 5 server...." |
-p 1 sends only 1 NTP packet. Default behavious is sending 4 packets, then setting time.
-t 5 sets a timeout of 5 seconds. Set to your taste. |
