Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ntpdate
Not sure, if this is a bug at all, but i see strange things. Fact is, system
clock was totally wrong (about half an hour). Calling ntpdate with
ntp.ubuntu.com as timeserver corrected the system time. I now started to
explore. Thats what I've found: In if-up.d directory ntpdate-debian is called.
This one uses /etc/default/ntpdate as a config file. In my configfile
NTPDATE_USE_NTP_CONF was set
to 'yes'. But ntp has never been installed on my system (as far as i know) and
so config files for ntp did not exist (such as /etc/ntp.conf). So no servers
from ntp, NTPSERVERS=ntp.ubuntu.com from /etc/defaut/ntpdate not used --> no
syncing time.
Workaround: Installed ntp and removed it. -> /etc/ntp.conf now exists ->
ntpdate-debian syncs system time.
BTW: I'm on lucid
greetings!
