Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ntp
I have no idea how or when my ntp server got set but I had been noticing for
some time that my clock wasn't correct. I finally investigated the problem
tonight and found many lines of the following in the daemon.log
ntpd_initres[xxxx]: host name not found: clock.tricity.wsu.edu
/etc/ntp.conf obviously had the following:
server clock.tricity.wsu.edu
Which I replaced with:
server pool.ntp.org
My suggestion is that the ntp package should decide on a default
ntpserver hostname (pool.ntp.org or ntp.ubuntu.com) and then upgrade
people's ntp.conf files to reflect that default.
** Affects: ntp (Ubuntu)
