The real problem may be in script /usr/sbin/ntpdate-debian:
this line
NTPSERVERS=$(sed -rne 's/^(servers?|peer) ([-_.:[:alnum:]]+).*$/\2/p'
"$file" ...
could not correctly parsed file below:
/etc/ntp.conf:
restrict -6 default ignore
restrict -4 default ignore
restrict -6 ::1 nomodify notrap nop
In my case the configuration file wasn't loaded until I changed the
script file. Therefore time in my system wasn't correctly set according
to configuration. I forgot to mention that the OS is Ubuntu Server
edition. By "necessary configuration" you mean the /etc/default/ntpdate
file?
