[Devil-linux-develop] ntpd init script modification

[Serge L. <fi...@in...>]

Hello,

Looks like /etc/ntp/step-tickers is not from the original ntp package and is
used in several distributions as an additional file/setting. Is it necessary to
hold that in DL if we can make preliminary synchronization just from /etc/ntp.conf ?

Please advice,

No clue. As always: do whatever you deem necessary. :)
