I wanted my Voyage MPD Alix machine to have a correct time when it boots
up so I put in a cron job:
15 * * * * /usr/sbin/ntpdate-debian
and so it would be set at boot up right away instead of taking up to an
hour, I added to the /etc/rc.local
/usr/sbin/ntpdate-debian
but looking in the /etc/default/ntpdate I see this odd comment and code:
# Set to "yes" to take the server list from /etc/ntp.conf, from package
# ntp, so you only have to keep it in one place.
NTPDATE_USE_NTP_CONF=yes
# List of NTP servers to use (Separate multiple servers with spaces.)
# Not used if NTPDATE_USE_NTP_CONF is yes.
NTPSERVERS="0.debian.pool.ntp.org 1.debian.pool.ntp.org
2.debian.pool.ntp.org 3.debian.pool.ntp.org"
Shouldn't the NTPDATE_USE_NTP_CONF here be set "no" since the default
Voyage MPD has no /etc/ntp.conf file?
Note, my ntpdate set works ok, I think the missing /etc/ntp.conf is
skipped over (the script does an existence test, then continues on and
uses the NTPSERVERS value from /etc/default/ntpdate ). But for less
confusion maybe the NTPDATE_USE_NTP_CONF should be 'no'
