Hi, Sorry about assigning the bug. The system allowed me to so I thought that was how you do it.
I was just suggesting a quick fix. Long term I suggest since, - ntpdate does not use ntpdate.conf rename it to ntpdate-debian.conf - /etc/network/if-up.d/ntpdate does not use ntpdate so rename it /etc/network/if-up.d/ntpdate-debian.conf As a note I did check the manual https://help.ubuntu.com/7.10/server/C/NTP.html and google (other people were confused too). I will go to the manual team and provide suggestions for clarification. Hew, your response most likely was not meant in a negative way but at least when I first read it, it felt a bit negative. Maybe ask someone else outside to read it. I did, and they felt it was worth mentioning. -- ntpdate fails to get a server from /etc/ntp.conf https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/176844 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
