Prior to this update, if the /usr directory was mounted on an NFS file system, the ntpd service could not be started before the netfs service. This update moves the NTP applications to the /sbin directory so the user may change the ntpd startup priority to start prior to the netfs service. Note that if you wish to mount NFS version 4 with Kerberos authentication, you should consider changing the ntpd startup priority to start prior to the netfs service. Otherwise authentication may fail due to the non-synchronized date.

Sorry, changing the start priority of ntpd does help. I did not see that ntpd had an existing option to run ntpdate before it starts. Other than network, ntpd has no requirements, why does it not start until S58. It has to start before netfs is nfs4 is to consistently work. Sorry, changing the start priority of ntpd does help.

Other than network, ntpd has no requirements, why does it not start until S58. It has to start before netfs is nfs4 is to consistently work. Is /usr on nfs supported? ntpd and ntpdate would have to be moved to /sbin if the service had moved before netfs. There seem to be other daemons in /usr started before netfs service. Discouraged but supported in RHEL 5.

This request was erroneously denied for the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. The error has been fixed and this request has been re-proposed for the current release. selinux policy needs to be updated so /sbin/ntpdate and /sbin/ntpd have correct contexts, they are both moved from /usr/sbin to /sbin. Ok, I am fixing it. When ntp and selinux-policy* are updated in one rpm transaction, it seems that rpm doesn't load the new policy and the files moved to /sbin will have a wrong context. Possibly bug #505066. We'll probably need to add a restorecon call to the init script.
