Package: ntp Followup-For: Bug #556465
I think this bug should be closed. There are a lot of old ntp bugs lying around and this should not be one of them. The official wiki page recommendations for configuring ntp for use with p.n.o recommend the use of iburst: http://support.ntp.org/bin/view/Support/ConfiguringNTP The main ntpd doc page says: "Most applications will probably want to specify the iburst option with the server command": http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/html/ntpd.html More official recomendations "The iburst option described later on this page is recommended for clients, as this speeds up initial synchronization from several minutes to several seconds.": http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/html/assoc.html In an email describing some new pool directive features Dave Hart (ntp dev) uses iburst in his example config: https://lists.ntp.org/pipermail/questions/2010-April/026304.html -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.1.0-rc7-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages ntp depends on: ii adduser 3.113 ii dpkg 1.16.1 ii libc6 2.13-21 ii libcap2 1:2.22-1 ii libedit2 2.11-20080614-3 ii libopts25 1:5.12-0.1 ii libssl1.0.0 1.0.0e-2 ii lsb-base 3.2-28 ii netbase 4.46 Versions of packages ntp recommends: ii perl 5.12.4-5 Versions of packages ntp suggests: ii ntp-doc 1:4.2.6.p3+dfsg-1 -- Configuration Files: /etc/default/ntp changed [not included] /etc/dhcp/dhclient-exit-hooks.d/ntp [Errno 2] No such file or directory: u'/etc/dhcp/dhclient-exit-hooks.d/ntp' /etc/ntp.conf changed [not included] -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
