Description Elmo Todurov 2006-03-15 22:07:37 UTC

aiccu the IPv6 tunnel software needs to know the exact time so its initscript fails to run at boot time.
Suggest adding
  depend() {
  	need net
+ 	after ntp-client
  }
in /etc/init.d/aiccu and make it depend on NTP.

Uhm, this won't solve anything if ntp-client fails to set time, and there are also people who don't run ntp-client at all and use (open)ntpd to keep their time right. Not a good idea, IMO. It's your responsibility to ensure that your system time is sane.

Adding after ntp-client is fine.
It just means that it has to start after ntp-client which is fine.
ntp-client will be started anyway.


I've commited that to CVS but I didn't bumped the -r for such trivial thing.

Thanks.
