Package: ntp-simple Version: 1:4.2.0a+stable-8 Severity: normal I'm running ntp-simple on two machines with dynamic IP addresses. Yesterday, both machines had their DHCP lease renewed with a different address, and the logs started showing these messages:
Jul 5 16:15:34 toroia ntpd[2439]: sendto(128.100.102.201): Invalid argument Jul 5 16:28:01 toroia ntpd[2439]: sendto(132.246.168.164): Invalid argument Jul 5 16:30:34 toroia ntpd[2439]: sendto(199.212.17.34): Invalid argument Jul 5 16:32:41 toroia ntpd[2439]: sendto(128.100.102.201): Invalid argument Jul 5 21:15:54 phentex ntpd[327]: sendto(217.114.97.97): Invalid argument On a hunch, I restarted ntpd on toroia but not on phentex; it indeed worked again on the former, and remained stalled on the latter. Is it possible that ntpd might somehow override the source address of the IP packets it's sending? This sounds silly, but it would provide for an explanation of this behavior. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.11-2 Locale: LANG=en_CA, LC_CTYPE=en_CA (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages ntp-simple depends on: ii adduser 3.64 Add and remove users and groups ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libcap1 1:1.10-14 support for getting/setting POSIX. ii libssl0.9.7 0.9.7g-1 SSL shared libraries ii ntp-server 1:4.2.0a+stable-8 Network Time Protocol: common serv ntp-simple recommends no packages. -- debconf information: * shared/ntp/servers: www1.cmc.ec.gc.ca chime.utoronto.ca time.nrc.ca shared/ntp/localclock: false * shared/ntp/update-conf: true -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
