Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ntp
It looks like ntp never updates the time on my Gutsy machine. I can get
ntpdate to work only if I specify the ntp server on the command line.
Here's what I get when I run ntpdate:
$ sudo ntpdate -v
17 Dec 18:51:03 ntpdate[2545]: ntpdate [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Oct 4
20:58:46 UTC 2007 (1)
17 Dec 18:51:03 ntpdate[2545]: no servers can be used, exiting
but it does work if I specify the NTP server explicitely:
$ sudo ntpdate -v ntp
17 Dec 18:51:37 ntpdate[2556]: ntpdate [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Oct 4
20:58:46 UTC 2007 (1)
17 Dec 18:51:37 ntpdate[2556]: adjust time server 192.168.4.9 offset
-0.021603 sec
Which is weird since /etc/default/ntpdate.conf is the following:
NTPDATE_USE_NTP_CONF=yes
#NTPSERVERS=""
NTPOPTIONS=""
and /etc/ntp.conf contains:
server ntp
server nz.pool.ntp.org
server ntp.ubuntu.com
Now, I ran strace on ntpdate and it looks like it doesn't even read
/etc/ntp.conf:
$ sudo strace ntpdate 2> errors
$ grep ntp errors:
execve("/usr/sbin/ntpdate", ["ntpdate"], [/* 44 vars */]) = 0
write(2, "ntpdate[2649]: no servers can be"..., 47ntpdate[2649]: no
servers can be used, exiting
Is there anything else I should look into?
