Novell BorderManager 3.9
Domestic Version of TCI/IP Stack
Situation
With BorderManager VPN configured and enabled, the server is slow to load when booting up. The following is seen on the console screen:
Timesync: Waiting for TCP/IP to be initialized
Timesync: Waiting for TCP/IP to be initialized
Timesync: Waiting for TCP/IP to be initialized
Timesync: Waiting for TCP/IP to be initialized
Timesync: Waiting for TCP/IP to be initialized
The server eventually loads, but may take a long time to do so.
This only happens if the Domestic Version of the TCP/IP stack is loaded on the server because this version is required for BorderManager VPN.
Resolution
Edit AUTOEXEC.NCF to include the following toward the end of the file:
unload timesync
