If openntpd is used with hostnames rather than IP addresses in the config, the -s option is used, and dns lookups timeout, there is an undesired extended startup delay. If IP addresses are used, there is at most a 15 second startup delay. Attached patch updates ntpd to give up initial time setting and background within approximately 15 seconds (the hardcoded timeout waiting for a reply from the no privs child process) + however long you have your resolver configured to timeout a dns lookup. Reproducible: Always
