I just have to say it is truly incredible this issue is not fixed in Hardy. It has been known for a long time and the fundamental cause is known--the necessary sequence of getting the internet connection to be fully functioning (eth0, dhcp, etc) before running ntpdate to completion, then running ntp.

ntp is so widely used, it is amazing this wasn't satisfactorily addressed.

As for the tampering, we HAVE TO DO THAT TO GET THE DANG THING TO WORK.
