I saw that the corresponding Debian bug report was marked fixed, so I
looked at this. This was fixed in openntpd 20080406p-1, and the updated
description is in Ubuntu 14.04 and later releases. I've therefore taken
the liberty of marking this as fix released. The current description now
says:
NTP, the Network Time Protocol, is used to keep the computer clocks
synchronized. It provides the ability to sync the local clock to remote
NTP servers and can act as NTP server itself, redistributing the local
clock.
This is an alternative implementation of the NTP software, made by the
OpenBSD Project. It makes use of privilege separation, only implements a
subset of the NTP protocol, adjusting the rate of the clock to
synchronize the local clock.
Alternative packages which provide similar functionality are ntp and
chrony.
** Changed in: openntpd (Ubuntu)
Status: Triaged => Fix Released
** Tags added: string-fix
