@aquina: ntpd doesn't have to be shipped with a configuration that will launch it as a daemon. It can easily be used to do ntpdate's job without daemonizing.
Also, the ntpd binary is actually only around 2/3 the size of the ntpdate binary, so I think you may be backwards on which one is bloated. -- 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/583994 Title: Consider replacing ntpdate calls by 'ntpd -g' To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ntp/+bug/583994/+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
