Why isn't simply installing the ntp package sufficient? In other words, I don't think the above is needed and I think that is where you have gone astray from the path. But I am happy to be educated otherwise. Won't adding that line create a circular dependency loop between rsyslog and ntp? rsyslog needs $time. ntp needs $syslog. > I then issued > dpkg-reconfigure sysv-rc > , expecting to have ntp added to the cron line of > .etc/init.d/.depend.start.

So instead of reconfiguring sysv-rc you should reconfigure ntp instead of sysv-rc. That will run the package ntp.postinst script and it will set up the call to 'update-rc.d ntp' which will call insserv as appropriate. # dpkg-reconfigure ntp Bob
