Title: boot-time race between /etc/network/if-up.d/ntpdate and "/etc/init.d/ntp start" Status in ntp package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: We're seeing a race between if-up.d/ntpdate and the ntp startup script. 1) if-up.d/ntpdate starts. 2) if-up.d/ntpdate acquires the lock "/var/lock/ntpdate-ifup". 3) if-up.d/ntpdate stops the ntp service [which isn't running anyway]. 4) if-up.d/ntpdate starts running ntpdate, which bids UDP *.ntp 5) /etc/init.d/rc 2 executes "/etc/rc2.d/S20ntp start" 6) /etc/init.d/ntp acquires the lock "/var/lock/ntpdate". 7) /etc/init.d/ntp starts the ntp daemon. 8) The ntp daemon logs an error, complaining that it cannot bind UDP *.ntp. 9) if-up.d/ntpdate now starts the ntp service. The result is a weird churn, though ntpd does end up running at the end. Should these not be using the same lock file?
