Re: how does ntpdate work ?
According to /usr/share/doc/ntpdate/changlog.Debian.gz:
* npdate is no longer started from an init script but instead by ifup
(closes: #56499, #245338, #312576)
* Run ntpdate from ifup in the background (closes: #321759, #375280,
#382543)
The script is now in /etc/network/if-up.d .
Cheers,
Andy

in good old sarge there was a script in /etc/init.d/ that would check the
clock with the ntp server(s) in /etc/default/ntpdate. But how does it works
in Etch, since the init.d script is gone ? Of course i can execute ntpdate
ntp.xs4all.nl but if i want it to sync every 24hrs should i put it in cron
or is there a "hidden" script somewhere to take care of it ?
