[Bug 1178933] Re: Time drifting when set to update Automatically from Internet

[C de-Avillez]

@Colin Law: ndtpdate is provided by the same *source* package (which is
what I wrote above ;-). You are looking at the *binary* NTP package
(which is also provided by source package ntp).

Although a bit pedantic, with ntpdate time *is* automatically updated.
The problem is that it does not keep on updating (unless the network
interfaces are cycled). But I agree with you, it is, at least,
misleading.

The complete solution is to abandon ntpdate usage. Everybody gets to use
ntp. There are a few bugs on ntp/ntpdate about that. One day we will get
it done.
