  • some machines have no RTC at all, or an RTC with a failed battery
  • in certain situations, ntpd fails with "Alarm Clock" when trying to do too-big a jump
  • in this case, set system time to the date of the dhcpd binary and retry
  • yet-another-case where systemd would have saved us from pain
