Re: NTP not working on bootup

The past two days, my system clock has shown the time to be HOURS OFF after

that "Automatically start NTP Daemon during boot" is checked, as is
"Use Random servers from pool.ntp.org"

Going into advanced Configuration, the first choice is:
Undisciplined Local Clock(LOCAL) and then:
Server 0.pool.ntp.org
Server 1.pool.ntp.org
server 2.pool.ntp.org

I can sync with NTP manually, but how did my start NTP during boot
configuration get out of whack and what caused it to change?

Thanks,

2 things to check - first, that NTP is starting *after* the network
comes up (I've previously been bitten by this one). The other is that,
if the hardware clock is seriously adrift from the network time, NTP
will not change it - IIRC this is documented on the man page.
