Package: ntpdate Severity: wishlist Tags: patch It seems that it's not uncommon for the system clock in servers with high uptimes to go off eventualy. In our tests, we've found that it typicaly goes off by 1/6912 (~= 15m after 72 days). It would be useful if ntpdate were run in cron.daily as well, not only via network hooks.
Attached patch enables this by just adding a symlink. -- Robert Millan ACK STORM, S.L. - http://www.ackstorm.es/
