Harlan Stenn said the following on 08/05/11 21:58:
- Start ntd as early as possible
- "ntpd -g ..." is better than "ntpdate ... ; ntpd ..."
- Wait before starting time-sensitive services
- As last as possible in the boot sequence, run 'ntp-wait -v', and start time-sensitive services after it successfully returns.
What happens if the server starts with a date very far in the past due to hardware clock reset or something like that?
I mean: if a Linux starts with the hardware clock set to 1/1/2000 how much does it take to get the real date?
I'm asking for curiosity, never tried this scenario.
Ciao, luigi
