This was one of the changes in 4.2.6p2, see upstream bug report for more information: https://bugs.ntp.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1504 You can reduce the delay by using a smaller number of samples (-p option). ntpdate runs with system startup (Synchronize system clock before starting service option). Is it normal to have 6 seconds delay in boot process? Yes, if you need ntpdate to run on boot, there will be 6 second delay. There is an additional delay with NETWORKWAIT=1, see bug #445229. Please note that the ntpdate service is disabled by default and the latest system-config-date has the option replaced with one that adds iburst to servers specified in ntp.conf instead of enabling ntpdate service. Is it possible to add "-p 1" option to /etc/sysconfig/ntpdate? Yes, you can add it there. But I'm not sure if we should use it by default, I think it might reduce the reliability. |
