Package: ntp Version: 1:4.2.4p3+dfsg-1 Severity: normal After I did an upgrade on 2007-08-17 (including to ntp 1:4.2.4p3+dfsg-1, as said by /var/log/dpkg.log), I rebooted my machine with the Ethernet cable unplugged. I noticed a few hours ago that ntpd had no peers; they were probably discarded at startup time. My /etc/ntp.conf file (last modified on 2007-05-10) has:
server 0.debian.pool.ntp.org iburst dynamic server 1.debian.pool.ntp.org iburst dynamic server 2.debian.pool.ntp.org iburst dynamic server 3.debian.pool.ntp.org iburst dynamic So, it seems that the "dynamic" option is still ignored or doesn't work correctly (or there's some other bug, but I don't know the reason). Running '/etc/init.d/ntp restart' allowed to use NTP again. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-5-686-bigmem (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=POSIX, LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO8859-1 (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages ntp depends on: ii adduser 3.104 add and remove users and groups ii libc6 2.6.1-1+b1 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-6 SSL shared libraries ii lsb-base 3.1-24 Linux Standard Base 3.1 init scrip ii netbase 4.30 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".
