Running it by hand à la ``sudo /etc/init.d/ntpdate start'' works, by the way. > this is the old behavior in sarge [2], because starting from > etch ntpdate is executed when the interface is brought up [3]. We have a problem there, because the Hurd's way of managing network interfaces is not very well integrated with Debian's -- not at all, one should probably say. It would be pretty easy to implement some infrastructure in the Hurd's pfinet server (that's the one to handle network connectivity) to initiate call-backs as soon as an interface is set up, etc. -- if we wanted to do that, which I'm not so sure about.
