Hi @kogorman-pacbell,
Can you explain what you think should be happening here? Running
ntpdate from sudo or a root shell gives exactly the same behaviour -
ntpdate requires a list of servers to be provided on the command line,
and it is simply indicating that this has not been provided.
In addition, it's completely legitimate to run ntpdate as a non-root
user in order to see the offset from a remote server without setting the
time (see the man page for details on the -d option).
** Changed in: ntp (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Incomplete
