I'm running debian/unstable on my laptop and often the LAN/WLAN is not
connected (yet)
when the system is starting up - including NTPD.
NTPD then seems to discard all unreachable server entries and ends up
with no peers left.
In some googled doc I found the ntp.conf option "dynamic" to tell it
that some peers may become available later on,
but the debian ntpd doesnt't seem to understand it - or I don't know how
to use it correctly.
What is the best way to configure the ntpd in such an environment ?
How about calling the init.d script from /etc/network/interfaces?
I mean, there is little need for having the deamon running while
offline and providing that your clock does not drift too much, that
should do it.
