Package: ntpsec
Version: 1.2.2+dfsg1-4
Severity: important
I recently upgraded my machine and the old ntpd got replaced by ntpsec.
I have a fairly old (read decades old) ntp.conf that I carried over.
Because I ntpsec had a lot of changes in the config file, i opted to
use to overwrite my config with the package maintainer's config and
just replaced the sever line as I used to have:
server myserver.localnet maxpoll 6
I also removed all other server lines as my local ntp server does all
the heavy lifting and all machines should sync to that. (also removing
the "tos minsane 3" line)
Unfortunately, ntpsec refuses to sync to any server that does not have
"iburst" set in its options. It outright refuses to consider it. Just adding
iburst to the config, fixes this.
Considering that iburst should only affect ntpd's behaviour of sending
out packets when a server (re)appears, it is quite odd that it affects
the selection algorithm. Hence I consider this a bug.
