what version of ntp ? emerge info ? can you post a `ntpdate` command which shows this behavior ? % ntpd --version ntpd: ntpd 4.2.0@1.1161-r Fri Apr 8 20:27:12 EDT 2005 (1) However, maybe the problem is my fault and the bug-report should be removed??: I had % /etc/init.d/ntp-client status * status: started running. But I can't find a man-page for ntp-client. Was I supposed to have /etc/init.d/ntpd running? I've stopped ntp-client and have now done % /etc/init.d/ntpd start and % rc-update add ntpd default Please excuse me if the error was mine. ntpd is not the samething as ntp-client ntp-client just runs `ntpdate` to set your clock I can not reproduce the bug, so I will mark it closed. |
As root, executing /etc/init.d/ntp-client restart silently kills the /etc/localtime symlink. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Expected Results: Leave the symlink intact. The effect is the same as bug 87519, but it is unlikely that these two bugs are related.
