Description of problem: Before /etc/init.d/ntp starts up the ntp server, it tries to run ntpdate. If this fails, it doesn't start the server. Hence, on a machine that doesn't have a permanent internet connection (or more specifically, isn't connected at boot time), the daemon won't be run. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 4.1.1a How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install ntp and activate it, then boot on a machine without a net connection 2. 3. Actual results: The "synchronizing with time server line" will say "failed" (correctly), and the daemon will not be started. Expected results: Immediate synchronisation should fail, but the daemon should still be started, so that when a net connection is made, the time server can be reached and used for synchronisation.
