Bug#402376: ntpdate: The "-u" option should be default in /etc/default/ntpdate
Package: ntpdate Version: 1:4.2.2.p4+dfsg-1 Severity: normal The current default is to not use the option "-u". ntpdate does not get time if privileged ports are used: # /usr/sbin/ntpdate-debian 10 Dec 00:22:18 ntpdate[3526]: the NTP socket is in use, exiting With "-u" it works: # /usr/sbin/ntpdate-debian -u 10 Dec 00:37:05 ntpdate[3620]: adjust time server 192.245.169.15 offset -0.010303 sec I'd suggest to ship the /etc/default/ntpdate with NTPOPTIONS="-u". -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

If you have ntpd running, ntpdate shouldn't interfere. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
