[Bug 1125726] Re: boot-time race between /etc/network/if-up.d/ntpdate and "/etc/init.d/ntp start"

[Thomas Bushnell, BSG]

We're seeing a possibly related problem on first boot, with more painful
consequences. Our install process does a puppet run in the late_command,
and then a reboot, and then another puppet run happens on boot.

In that first boot to the installed system, we're seeing ntp start once
and fail, reporting that it cannot bind UDP *.ntp, and then it doesn't
run at all. This is different from the symptom I noticed above. I agree
that bug 246203 was a real bug with the old way; that certainly explains
why simply using the same lock file will not be good.
