It would certainly be bad to remove /etc/default/ntpdate from the distribution given that it is used by a script run every time a network interface comes up. -- 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/689343 Title: ntpdate has no /etc/default/ntpdate reference -- 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
