I'd argue ntpdate shouldn't be started at all by default. I can see no reason why people would prefer using ntpdate rather than ntpd. Desktops should ship without NTP enabled (i.e. ntp package not installed, but installable via time-admin), and server should ship with it installed.
Current situation conflicts with time-admin's options, and is not really optimal for servers either (time should be updated smoothly via ntpd). ** Changed in: ntp (Ubuntu) Importance: Wishlist => Low -- No obvious way to prevent ntpdate to be run when interface are brought up https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/322518 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to ntp in ubuntu. -- 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
