Hi,
just wanted to make note this issue persists, for no obvious reason.
Without the debug mode, setting up & verifying beforehand of
- broadcast client
- multicast client
- manycast client
- orphan mode
is close to impossible.
This is practically limiting Debian’s NTPd to the functionality from pre-2006.
At least for setups where people care.
root@pi:~# cat /etc/debian_version
7.2
root@pi:~# uname -a
Linux pi 3.6.11+ #538 PREEMPT Fri Aug 30 20:42:08 BST 2013 armv6l GNU/Linux
root@pi:~# /usr/sbin/ntpd --debug
ntpd: The ``debug-level'' option has been disabled -- this package was built
using 'configure --disable--debug'
ntpd - NTP daemon program - Ver. 4.2.6p5
USAGE: ntpd [ -<flag> [<val>] | --<name>[{=| }<val>] ]..
Note: I think it was fixed back during lenny days, but it’s too long to be
really sure.
If possible, could you check, on a new release, that debug mode is working
or at least, if it’s turned off due to some grave issue, this isn’t kept as a
default for the next N years.
