I just finished a fresh U8.10-rc install.
Plain vanilla, all I added was the NTP package.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls -l /etc/rc5.d/S2[38]*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Oct 26 14:18 /etc/rc5.d/S23ntp -> ../init.d/ntp
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 Oct 26 10:10 /etc/rc5.d/S28NetworkManager ->
../init.d/NetworkManager
NTP starts before Network Manager, meaning that NTP won't have DNS available at
startup.
It tends to work, but moving NTP's startup after Network Managers should make
it more reliable. It will also allow NTPDATE to run (it's called from the ip-up
scripts, but will fail as NTPD will already own the socket).
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ grep ntp-server /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf

NTP servers still aren't requested by default. If whoever set up your
DHCP server knows enought to advertise NTP server(s) then chances are
you should use them (or at the very least PREPEND them).
