[Bug 1278365] [NEW] ntpdate target server

[itzeme]

Public bug reported:

ntpdate calls a ubuntu specific ntp server on network-interface startup.

This causes some slight but unnessesary privacy issues as it identifies
the client software to anyone listening on the network.


This issue can be solved easily by adding the ubuntu/canonical ntp server to a public ntp pool and (maybe) using a more common server name (ntp.canonical instead of ntp.ubuntu)

This way there is no privacy issue regaring network traffic and it is a
public service by helping public ntp pools
