Gerti, thanks for the reply! I think quite a few users find the ntp
daemon quite useless, which is why it gets installed by default.

If you want to configure things differently from the default, that
is your prerogative. I suggest you add a file to /etc/cron.daily that
runs ntpdate to sync daily, or if you want to do it more often, write
a crontab entry that handles it the way you want it handled.

Closing the bug as Invalid.


** Changed in: ntp (Ubuntu)
       Status: Incomplete => Invalid
