Another observation, the ntpdate command is really slow on Ubuntu 14.04 and 16.04. On average it takes about 6.1 seconds to run the ntpdate command, I am running ntpdate after boot. Our Red hat 6.8 machines take about 0.1 seconds. We manage 300+ Ubuntu 14.04 and 16.04 systems and I checked ntpdate on several of them. Still can't figure out why most machines work but some consistently fail to start ntpd. Even the ones that do start ntpd ntpdate still takes 6+ seconds to run. And we have our own in house stratum 1 time servers that are on the same internal network. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1577596 Title: ntpd not started when using ntpdate To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/init-system-helpers/+bug/1577596/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
