Public bug reported:
We recently installed 12.04 LTS (32-bit) with NIS authentication and found two
bugs with ntp, the first was ntp was not installed (even though the clock
manager allowed, and defaulted to, "internet time") and the second more serious
bug reported here is we discovered that ntp is being started before the system
is capable of resolving DNS, so only time servers given by IP address are found.
Those given by name (ntp0.dundee.ac.uk and similar) are not found and, as ntp
never performs DNS lookup after initially starting, they remain unavailable
until you manually issue the command "/etc/init.d/ntp restart".
This was not a problem with 10.04 LTS, and I also though upstart was supposed
to handle such starting sequence dependencies?
$lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
Release: 12.04
$ apt-cache policy ntp
ntp:
Installed: 1:4.2.6.p3+dfsg-1ubuntu3
Candidate: 1:4.2.6.p3+dfsg-1ubuntu3
Version table:
*** 1:4.2.6.p3+dfsg-1ubuntu3 0
500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/main i386 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
We expected ntp to be started after the network interfaces were up and
DNS look-up possible.
