Hi,
I am currently working on a commercial system which uses rdate for
roughly setting time when booting/restarting. Later ntpd is started
and used to keep time accurate. My question: Is it possible to get rid
of rdate in favour of "ntpd -q"? Any risks involved? ntpd starting
later and/or needs more time to sync than rdate etc?
