I selected NTP during the installation of MDK8.1b2 and it came up running as
a client. Nice work...
I am wondering why the installer does not also create the
/etc/ntp/step-tickers file and place the entered time server into it as well?
I noticed that the clock on the computer was out by a large amount (used ntpq
-pn to get statistics). Consequently, it was taking a very long time to
bring the computer's time into sync with the time server.
I checked the ntpd init script and it would use the contents of the
step-tickers file to correct the computer's clock immediately before running
the ntp daemon.
