When I restart my opnsense or internet goes down on an interface for a short period, network time starts up a second time..
This causes constant conflict between the 2 processes.
bind(23) AF_INET INTERFACEIP:123 flags 0x19 failed: Address already in use
And when I then check CLI, I can see:
39161 1 Wed Nov 11 17:33:14 2026 /usr/local/sbin/ntpd -g -c /var/etc/ntpd.co nf
85635 1 Wed Nov 11 17:33:24 2026 /usr/local/sbin/ntpd -g -c /var/etc/ntpd.co nf
So it is started twice.
AI basically says:
At boot and on a WAN/IPv6 change, the boot sequence and rc.newwanip(v6) run the ntpd restart at nearly the same time.
Both kill whatever ntpd exists, then both start a new one. You end up with two.
Its btw an recurring issue, even if I kill one of the processes it will eventually spawn a new one.
