Package: wicd
Version: 1.7.0+ds1-5
Severity: normal
Hi!
I have ntpdate installed, and configured it to be executed automatically each
time
a network connection is activated. This is done in the file
/etc/default/ntpdate
ntpdate includes the file
/etc/dhcp/dhclient-exit-hooks.d/ntpdate
that is used by the dhcp client to adjust the time after a network connection
has
been successfully configured.
It works fine when using network-manager, but not when using wicd. This is
strange,
because I only have one dhcp client installed, and as far as I understand, the
ntpdate
script is run by the dhcp-client...
I noticed this because the clock was supposed to have been adjusted an hour
back when
connecting this morning, and it didn't happen. I deactivated wicd-daemon,
activated
network-manager, connected, and voila: the time was immediately adjusted an
hour back.
When wicd-daemon has successfully connected, and it executes the dhcp client,
does it do
so in a way that causes the script dhclient-exit-hooks.d/ntpdate to not be
executed?
In my wicd-gtk preferences, I have "DHCP client: automatic", not "dhclient".
All the other
choices are greyed out.
Since my ntpdate configuration works perfectly when using network-manager,
there should
be nothing wrong with /etc/default/ntpdate. But just to be more complete, here
is its
contents:
NTPDATE_USE_NTP_CONF=no
NTPSERVERS="ntp.uio.no 0.debian.pool.ntp.org 1.debian.pool.ntp.org
2.debian.pool.ntp.org 3.debian.pool.ntp.org"
NTPOPTIONS="-u"
Best regards

That's not the file used.
/etc/network/if-up.d/ntpdate is, instead. And, with the added support
to /etc/network/*/ scripts, this bug is fixed with 1.7.0+ds1-6.
Kindly,
David
