Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ntp
If you have a laptop that roams, you want your ntp daemon to restart
when you change networks so that your time remains synchronized. This
would normally be done by scripts in /etc/network/if-up.d/
/etc/network/if-up.d/ntp and /etc/network/ntp-server have a small
problem with them.
Look at the files. Observe the lines saying:
# remove (or comment out) the next line if your network addresses change
exit 0
Those lines effectively disable the files. They need to be removed. Then
they will properly restart ntpd when a machine roams. I'm not quite
clear on why the comments are there to begin with, as a machine with a
static address will never invoke the scripts.
This will take mere moments for someone to fix.
