Package: ntpdate Version: 1:4.2.2+dfsg.2-3 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch Hello,
When i try to ifup and the network is down, ntpdate prints some messages on stdout which is quite annoying (runs in background) and unuseful because the messages are written to the logs. I did a small patch which fixes that, could you please apply it? The messages: # ifup eth0 Internet Systems Consortium DHCP Client V3.0.4 Copyright 2004-2006 Internet Systems Consortium.
