I'm trying to set up a NTP server on a sparc64 under 2.0.
IIRC I already experienced some delay between startup of ntpd
and it's availability. But here it is _very_ long.

After booting the server,
when I try 'ntpdate test' on a client I get this:

24 Oct 13:11:34 ntpdate[1658]: ntpdate 4.2.0-r Sun May  8 18:55:38 CEST 2005
(1)
Looking for host test and service ntp
host found : test.miage.univ-paris12.fr
[...]
194.214.13.2: Server dropped: strata too high
server 194.214.13.2, port 123
stratum 16, precision -17, leap 11, trust 000
[...]
24 Oct 13:11:34 ntpdate[1658]: no server suitable for synchronization found

After about 10 minutes the fllowing messages appear on the server's console:

Oct 24 13:08:28 test ntpd[270]: time reset +0.992103 s
Oct 24 13:08:28 test ntpd[270]: kernel time sync disabled 0041

Then after 10 more minutes ntpdate is OK:
[...]

Any tip?
Thierry.
