Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ntp
When ntp is started (or restarted) it produces in syslog messages of the form:
Mar 26 11:03:26 ecube ntpd_initres[7854]: host name not found: pool.ntp.org
for all of the servers I have put in the /etc/ntp.conf file.
A workaround is to use dig to get internet addresses for these servers and
put them in
my /etc/hosts file. When ntp is then restarted, a time adjustment is finally
made.
Other programs line filefox and dig seem to have no problems finding
network adresses for hostnames. I tries substituting the 'karmic' executable
for /usr/sbin/ntpd but
it showed the same behavior as the llucid version.
apt-cache policy ntp
returns:
