Maybe I missed this in the docs, but I didn't see that it updates the
hwclock during normal execution. It can be made to update the hwclock
(the example they give is in a ppp-down.d script), but in my case the
machine boots and ppp comes up and the only time it goes down has been a
power failure. So pp-down.d scripts are not called.
Did I miss something?
