Bug 31969 – ntp-client init.d script fails when using dnscache

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

[Description Olivier Castan 2003-10-25 06:41:16 UTC]

ntp-client, which calls ntpdate, fails if you sync with a ntp server using its
fqdn when using dnscache as local dns cache. That's because, in my case,
ntp-client is started before svcscan (which controls dnscache).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:





To correct, just add "before ntp-client" in the depend() call in svcscan init.d
script.

svcscan init.d script patch

[Comment 2 SpanKY 2003-10-29 22:22:03 UTC]

the ntp init.d scripts have 'use dns' in their depend() functions ...

if your svscan provides dns capabilities i would suggest adding 'provide
dns' to its depend() function ... see http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/rc-scripts.xml
