# 298514 23-Apr-2016 lme

- Add descriptions to most of the rc scripts. Those are mostly taken from their
daemon's manpage and probably improved.
- Consistently use "filesystem" not "file system".

# 257694 05-Nov-2013 glebius

Remove remnants of BIND from /etc, since there is no BIND in base now.

Sorry, that would break users running head and BIND from ports, since
ports rely on these scripts. The ports will be fixed soon.

# 251885 18-Jun-2013 dteske

Allow $ntpdate_config to be NULL. Due to a lack of surrounding quotes, when
ntpdate_config was set to NULL the conditional would (counter to prevailing
logic) succeed -- leading to awk attempting to redirect from a NULL pathname
standard-in. While we're here, make the script consistant with itself by
removing the {curlies} around ntpdate_config (they are unnecessary).


# 230099 14-Jan-2012 dougb

Prepare for the removal of set_rcvar() by changing the rcvar=
assignments to the literal values it would have returned.

The concept of set_rcvar() was nice in theory, but the forks
it creates are a drag on the startup process, which is especially
noticeable on slower systems, such as embedded ones.

During the discussion on freebsd-rc@ a preference was expressed for
using ${name}_enable instead of the literal values. However the
code portability concept doesn't really apply since there are so
many other places where the literal name has to be searched for
and replaced. Also, using the literal value is also a tiny bit
faster than dereferencing the variables, and every little bit helps.

and replace it with a new ntpdate_config variable.

- Document ntpdate_hosts in defaults/rc.conf.

# 154425 16-Jan-2006 dougb

REQUIRE named. On all systems I've examined running HEAD and
RELENG_6 this will be a noop, however as we introduce local
startup scripts to the base rcorder, we'll see more cases
where the previous status quo will need to be made explicit
to avoid having it disrupted when random local scripts are
added to the mix.


# 153607 21-Dec-2005 dougb

Several users have commented (via filing PRs) that having ntp* depend
on devfs is useful so that a hardware time device can start with its
necessary device nodes already in place. While this ordering happens
as a side effect currently in HEAD, and the PRs were generally fixed
via upgrades, etc; it's better to make it explicit.

While I'm here, ntpd should REQUIRE ntpdate, rather than ntpdate
using BEFORE: ntpd.

# 135252 15-Sep-2004 seanc

Bring back etc/rc.d/ntpdate as requested by scads of people. This isn't a
complete backout as the ntpd_sync_on_start etc/rc.conf tunable is still
present, though the default is now NO (was YES). Since we're no longer
syncing time at startup by default when ntpd is enabled (as was the case
24hrs ago), remove UPDATING entry pointing out that ntpd(1) -g is slower
than ntpdate(1).

Hopefully ntpd_sync_on_start="YES" can be made the default for -CURRENT
after 5.3 is cut. At the very least, this should be set to YES when a
user requests to have ntpd enabled via sysinstall(1).
