      @johnpoz:

      I thought there was a ntpdate done before - but what if that fails?  And time is way off?

      If sync'ing fails, a message is logged but pfSense still tries to start the ntp daemon.  If the time is off by more than 1000 seconds at that point, ntpd should promptly exit with a message saying so, and should remove its pid file (not sure it always does).  pfSense carries on, assuming that ntpd is running, AFAIK.

        My NTP gets a watchdog restart pretty regularly.
