Re: [Dovecot] ntp revisited (so what to do ?)

OK,

So what you people say is :

1. Run "ntpdate" during startup only once
2. After that, keep time with ntpd

Right ?

https://support.ntp.org/bin/view/Support/StartingNTP4 says:

• 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.

I'm fairly certain the above is excellent advice, and BCP.
