IMHO the only things in this tasks, that could suffer from timeouts are those
two lines:

       [ "$TIMESRVS_1" ] && rdate $TIMESRVS_1
       [ "$NTPSRVS_1" ]  && ntpdate -b -v $NTPSRVS

BTW: @Thomas: I never looked at those lines before, is the missing "_1" intended?

The only other thing is, that sshd is started, if you set that option -- but
that shouldn't take to much time, I suppose the above lines will more likely
cause trouble ...
