Hi, first thanks for submiting your bug.
Short answers: 1. Where are you find a privacy issue? Please read the docu at - http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc5905.txt - http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc5906.txt - http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc5907.txt - http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc5908.txt 2. The use of ntp.ubuntu.com is IMHO the availability of the ntp - service. Ubuntu can not guarantee the availability of other service providers over the entire term. 3. It is easy to change the ntp server eg via dhcp Therefore I close this bug Thanks Jörg ** Changed in: ntp (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to ntp in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1278365 Title: ntpdate target server To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ntp/+bug/1278365/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
