From f107efab9cc0dd8995a5a2820f30d1a43c5d5b1e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: deraadt <> Date: Tue, 21 Jun 2005 19:55:18 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] we do not do -s in /etc/rc anymore. this is because, even if -s did try to do it's job it would have to choose between two cases: 1. either it would take a very long time to get the correct adjustment, thus, if you are not currently on the net right, you wait a long time (or must type ^C, which is ridiculous) 2. ntpd could be modified to "abort early", but then would not meet the promise made by -s in the manual page (note: it does not say that it "tries") therefore, -s and -S must become user choices. Sorry. This same choice is made in lots of other places --- src/usr.sbin/ntpd/ntpd.8 | 14 +------------- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 13 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/usr.sbin/ntpd/ntpd.8 b/src/usr.sbin/ntpd/ntpd.8 index ecc83139..47a9ad78 100644 --- a/src/usr.sbin/ntpd/ntpd.8 +++ b/src/usr.sbin/ntpd/ntpd.8 @@ -1,4 +1,4 @@ -.\" $OpenBSD: ntpd.8,v 1.13 2004/12/10 03:54:18 jaredy Exp $ +.\" $OpenBSD: ntpd.8,v 1.14 2005/06/21 19:55:18 deraadt Exp $ .\" .\" Copyright (c) 2003, 2004 Henning Brauer .\" @@ -98,18 +98,6 @@ eliminating the need to run .Xr rdate 8 before starting .Nm . -Currently, the -.Fl s -option is added unconditionally in -.Xr rc 8 . -Make sure to specify the -.Fl S -option -(add/edit -.Va ntpd_flags -in -.Xr rc.conf.local 8 ) -if this behaviour is not desired. .El .Sh FILES .Bl -tag -width "/etc/ntpd.confXXX" -compact
