Package: ntpdate
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

It seems that it's not uncommon for the system clock in servers with high
uptimes to go off eventualy.  In our tests, we've found that it typicaly
goes off by 1/6912 (~= 15m after 72 days).  It would be useful if ntpdate
were run in cron.daily as well, not only via network hooks.

Attached patch enables this by just adding a symlink.
