Bug#402376: ntpdate: The -u option should be default in /etc/default/ntpdate

2006-12-09 Thread Teemu Likonen
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.

This looks like ntpd is running, and ntpdate shouldn't be run in the
first place.

 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

And I think we don't want that.

But that is intentional.  If you have ntpd running, ntpdate shouldn't 
interfere.
