Me too. The -s is for ntpdate-debian, not flock. > In ntpdate of the ntp package, -s means to divert logging output to the > system syslog facility. Right. In ntpsec's ntpdate, this is converted to -p for ntpdig, which is wrong. This is what is breaking things for you. rlaager@watermelon:~/src/ntpsec/ntpsec-pkg$ attic/ntpdate -n -s ntpdig -s -j -t 1 -p rlaager@watermelon:~/src/ntpsec/ntpsec-pkg$ ntpdig -s -j -t 1 -p option -p requires argument I've submitted a patch upstream to fix this correctly: https://gitlab.com/NTPsec/ntpsec/merge_requests/1011/ I suppose I'll also need to "Depends: bsdutils" to guarantee that logger(1) is available. -- Richard
