Thanks Thomas. I'm not sure what to do with this bug now though. Do you think you could distil your problem down to a failure case that applies generally? Or should we just leave this bug as a wishlist item to improve the ntp/ntpdate interaction? I guess the latter would need to be forwarded to Debian, as it would be awkward to diverge from them significantly on this.
I don't really understand why ntpdate can't just bind to an unprivileged port, leave ntpd alone, and thus not need any interaction. It seems to have a -u option to do this. Perhaps there's something I'm missing. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1125726 Title: boot-time race between /etc/network/if-up.d/ntpdate and "/etc/init.d/ntp start" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ntp/+bug/1125726/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
