Package: ntp
Version: 1:4.2.4p3+dfsg-1
Severity: normal
After I did an upgrade on 2007-08-17 (including to ntp 1:4.2.4p3+dfsg-1,
as said by /var/log/dpkg.log), I rebooted my machine with the Ethernet
cable unplugged. I noticed a few hours ago that ntpd had no peers; they
were probably discarded at startup time. My /etc/ntp.conf file (last
modified on 2007-05-10) has:
server 0.debian.pool.ntp.org iburst dynamic
server 1.debian.pool.ntp.org iburst dynamic
server 2.debian.pool.ntp.org iburst dynamic
server 3.debian.pool.ntp.org iburst dynamic
So, it seems that the "dynamic" option is still ignored or doesn't
work correctly (or there's some other bug, but I don't know the
reason).
Running '/etc/init.d/ntp restart' allowed to use NTP again.
