Hello, I have just encountered an error, where ntpdate running from if-up.d script at boot time prevented ntpd from starting.
While it's possible to work around this by using "-u" option for ntpdate, I agree with Vincent that the main reason we have ntpdate is: * to query (check) the time with some given server; * to set the time by running ntpdate manually in case something bad occurred (then the user can easily check that the date is not completely wrong). Thus, I second the request for removing ntpdate script from if-up.d scripts. -- Matus UHLAR - fantomas, [email protected] ; http://www.fantomas.sk/ Warning: I wish NOT to receive e-mail advertising to this address.
