Timesync and NTPD
Novell Cool Solutions: Question & Answer

Q:
I have two BorderManager Servers - one for VPN, the other for everything else. The VPN server is using the TCP659i NICI stack and the other server is
using the NULL stack. The VPN server takes a long time to come up as
timesync is waiting for TCP to initialize. The other server comes up rather quickly. Is there a problem with the stack or configuration?
A:
The recommended solution is to use NTPD instead of timesync for time
synchronization.
