See also: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ntp/+bug/288905 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ntp/+bug/1125726 The way I read "man ntpd" (on Debian wheezy), we should replace ntpdate by "ntpd -q"; and if we are going to run ntpd then ntpdate is unnecessary anyway. If we have (or are going to have) ntpd, then we should simply skip /etc/network/if-up.d/ntpdate; seeing how that depends on NTPSERVERS in /etc/ntp.conf or somesuch, I do not see that /etc/network/if-up.d/ntpdate is ever any use.
