Public bug reported: I recently installed the ntp package on a fairly vanilla installed-from- DVD Xenial system, and noticed that after the package installation both systemd-timesyncd and ntp were running:
# systemctl status ntp systemd-timesyncd.service --no-pager ntp.service - LSB: Start NTP daemon Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/ntp; bad; vendor preset: enabled) Active: active (running) since Tue 2016-06-28 19:21:16 HDT; 6min ago Docs: man:systemd-sysv-generator(8) CGroup: /system.slice/ntp.service 3364 /usr/sbin/ntpd -p /var/run/ntpd.pid -g -u 112:118 [...log lines...] systemd-timesyncd.service - Network Time Synchronization Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/systemd-timesyncd.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Drop-In: /lib/systemd/system/systemd-timesyncd.service.d `-disable-with-time-daemon.conf Active: active (running) since Sun 2016-06-26 06:53:05 HDT; 2 days ago Docs: man:systemd-timesyncd.service(8) Main PID: 821 (systemd-timesyn) Status: "Synchronized to time server 91.189.89.199:123 (ntp.ubuntu.com)."
