Where does ntpdate get its settings from and what is the "no servers can be used" error about?
- by wilhil
When I run ntpdate on its own, I get the following output:
8 Jun 15:47:46 ntpdate[31251]: no servers can be used, exiting
If I run it with the -q ntp.ubuntu.com switch, it seems to query just fine.
I have been hunting through many files and the most relevant one I have found is /etc/default/ntpdate, however, even with NTPDATE_USE_CONF set to no, I just can't understand/see how this error is occurring
Any ideas?
Update-- been looking non stop...
It appears that ntupdate-debianworks fine and is the actual command that makes use of /etc/default/ntupdate, but, this doesn't answer the main question and I still can't find it...
