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

[Robie Basak]

Thanks Thomas.

I'm not sure what to do with this bug now though. Do you think you could
distil your problem down to a failure case that applies generally? Or
should we just leave this bug as a wishlist item to improve the
ntp/ntpdate interaction? I guess the latter would need to be forwarded
to Debian, as it would be awkward to diverge from them significantly on
this.

I don't really understand why ntpdate can't just bind to an unprivileged
port, leave ntpd alone, and thus not need any interaction. It seems to
have a -u option to do this. Perhaps there's something I'm missing.
