The current init script of net-misc/rdate-1.4-r1 requires that the user defines RDATE_OPTS variable but rdate work even with only "-s" that is added by default, so I think that these lines of the init script aren't needed and can be removed: if [ -z "${RDATE_OPTS}" ] ; then eerror "Please edit /etc/conf.d/rdate" eerror "I need to know what options to use!" return 1 fi
fixed in cvs.
