Package: ntpdate
Version: 1:4.2.6.p2+dfsg-1+b1
Severity: normal
File: /usr/sbin/ntpdate-debian
Hi,
When scanning ntp.conf for servers, ntpdate-debian appears to require
precisely one space between the server or peer statement and the address.
In particular it fails to recognise addresses preceded by tabs or multiple
spaces, which means that it can fail to find any servers at all in a nicely
formatted ntp.conf file.
Thank you,
Roger
