Package: ntp Version: 1:4.2.4p0+dfsg-1 Severity: important since quite some time, ntp does not syncronize the internal clock. as far as I can see from the logs, it computes the time reset but then does not manage to completely sync the time.
this is an example of such a log: May 27 13:29:16 localhost ntpd[3221]: time reset -511.395231 s May 27 13:29:16 localhost ntpd[3221]: kernel time sync error 0001 at 14:38 on the same day, the needed time reset is around -140s. as a workaround, I had a cronjob stopping the deamon and restarting it once every day. this would syncronize the clock at once and limit the time drift to a few seconds per day. I disabled this because I think it should just work, don't you agree? -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers proposed-updates APT policy: (500, 'proposed-updates'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: powerpc (ppc) Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-3-powerpc Locale: LANG=en_DK.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_DK.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages ntp depends on: ii adduser 3.102 Add and remove users and groups ii libc6 2.5-9 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcap1 1:1.10-14 support for getting/setting POSIX. ii libreadline5 5.2-3 GNU readline and history libraries ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8e-5 SSL shared libraries ii lsb-base 3.1-23.1 Linux Standard Base 3.1 init scrip ii netbase 4.29 Basic TCP/IP networking system ii perl 5.8.8-7 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ntp recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
