[pkg-ntp-maintainers] Bug#382405: please run ntpdate on if-up etc.

[martin f krafft]

Package: ntpdate
Version: 1:4.2.2+dfsg-1
Severity: wishlist

Right now, ntpd is restarted when an interface of class inet* is
brought up. I suggest that you actually do

  /etc/init.d/ntp stop
  /etc/init.d/ntpdate start
  /etc/init.d/ntp start

Because the time may be so far off that ntpdate is needed.

Thanks,
