Package: ntpdate Version: 1:4.2.4p6+dfsg-1 Severity: normal Hi,
you call ntpdate-debian in /etc/network/if-up.d/ntpdate with the option -b (set in OPTS) if the interface method is static. ntpdate-debian puts this option $@ behind the options set in /etc/default/ntpdate in $NTPOPTIONS with overrides them. This leads to the problem that the -b option overrides my setting of -B. My clock should always be adjusted with adjtime(). You should change the order of $@ and $NTPOPTIONS, because later override former options. Or you should remove the option -b in /etc/network/if-up.d/ntpdate. I don't follow the argument, that a static method is a major event. I've a laptop and use guessnet for different networts. Some of them have static settings, but they aren't more or less important than the interfaces with dhcp. I don't think this assumtions holds in general.
