Update 4.2.8p14 --> 4.2.8p15 Summary: Systems that use a CMAC algorithm in ntp.keys will not release a bit of memory on each packet that uses a CMAC keyid, eventually causing ntpd to run out of memory and fail. The CMAC cleanup from https://bugs.ntp.org/3447, part of ntp-4.2.8p11, introduced a bug whereby the CMAC data structure was no longer completely removed. MFC after: 3 days Security: NTP Bug 3661

will send at most

@kbd{num-tries}

queries to

@code{ntpd(8)},

sleeping for
|
|
@kbd{secs-between-tries}

after each status return that says
|
|
@code{ntpd(8)}
|
|
has not yet produced a synchronized and stable system clock.
|
|
|
|
@code{ntp-wait}
|

will do this quietly, unless the

|
@code{-v}
|
|
flag is provided.
|
|
This can be useful at boot time, to delay the boot sequence until after

@kbd{ntpd} @kbd{-g}
|
|
has set the time.

@subsection ntp-wait help/usage (@option{--help})
|
|
@cindex ntp-wait help
|
|
|
|
This is the automatically generated usage text for ntp-wait.
|
|
|
|
The text printed is the same whether selected with the @code{help} option
|
|
(@option{--help}) or the @code{more-help} option (@option{--more-help}). @code{more-help} will print
|
|
the usage text by passing it through a pager program.
|
|
@code{more-help} is disabled on platforms without a working
|
|
@code{fork(2)} function. The @code{PAGER} environment variable is
|
|
used to select the program, defaulting to @file{more}. Both will exit
|
|
with a status code of 0.

@node ntp-wait tries
|
|
@subsection tries option (-n)
|
|
@cindex ntp-wait-tries
|
|
|
|
This is the ``number of times to check ntpd'' option.
|
|
This option takes a number argument.
|
|
The maximum number of times we will check @code{ntpd} to see if
|
|
it has been able to synchronize and stabilize the system clock.
|
|
@node ntp-wait sleep
|
|
@subsection sleep option (-s)
|
|
@cindex ntp-wait-sleep
|
|
|
|
This is the ``how long to sleep between tries'' option.
|
|
This option takes a number argument @file{secs-between-tries}.
|
|
We will sleep for @file{secs-between-tries} after each query
|
|
of @code{ntpd} that returns "the time is not yet stable".
|
|
@node ntp-wait verbose
|
|
@subsection verbose option (-v)
|
|
@cindex ntp-wait-verbose
|
|
|
|
This is the ``be verbose'' option.
|
|
By default, @code{ntp-wait} is silent.
|
|
With this option, @code{ntp-wait} will provide status information.
|
|
@node ntp-wait exit status
|
|
@subsection ntp-wait exit status
|
|
|
|
One of the following exit values will be returned:
|
|
@table @samp
|
|
@item 0 (EXIT_SUCCESS)
|
|
Successful program execution.
|
|
@item 1 (EXIT_FAILURE)
|
|
The operation failed or the command syntax was not valid.
