I found the original code in GNOME just pops up a message, see check_ntp_support in http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/gnome-system-tools/src/time/time-tool.c?rev=1.17&view=markup
The following seems mildly related: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommandNotFoundMagic But I wasn't able to locate anything for the NTP thing at this stage. Where's the right place to look for the source in this case? Cheers JP Simon wrote: > At some point, the gnome-system-tools package did this in the > time-admin application for ntp.
