@Colin Law: ndtpdate is provided by the same *source* package (which is what I wrote above ;-). You are looking at the *binary* NTP package (which is also provided by source package ntp).
Although a bit pedantic, with ntpdate time *is* automatically updated. The problem is that it does not keep on updating (unless the network interfaces are cycled). But I agree with you, it is, at least, misleading. The complete solution is to abandon ntpdate usage. Everybody gets to use ntp. There are a few bugs on ntp/ntpdate about that. One day we will get it done. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to ntp in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1178933 Title: Time drifting when set to update Automatically from Internet To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ntp/+bug/1178933/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
