Hi All,
I have recently purchased a computer with
edgy eft preinstalled. The behavior of
ntpdate on it is different from what I am used to and I was wondering if anybody can explain. For example, suppose I enter:
Code:
ntpdate -q 0.us.pool.ntp.org 1.us.pool.ntp.org 2.us.pool.ntp.org
Each of the above URLs will typically return multiple IP addresses. I am used to
ntpdate picking
one IP address from each URL to query and then make its decision. In
edgy eft,
ntpdate appears to query
all of the IP addresses returned for each URL.
Has
ntpdate's behavior been changed recently, has Ubuntu modified it, or what? I can't find any option listed in the
man page to revert to the old behavior. Can somebody tell me what's going on?
Thanks for any replies.
