running ntpdate to synchronise clock stalls
Posts: 13
During boot this message comes up and sits for 2 minutes then says "error temporary failure in name resolution". I read a few other posts about this problem but didn't see how to turn this off! I am on dial up and there may or may not be a network connection at the time I boot. What clock is this trying to sync to and how can I turn this feature off?
Thanks.
Thanks Adrian. Worked!

You are welcome, that works for any service that you don't need for example: "update-rc.d -f ssh remove" to get rid of ssh service or: "update-rc.d -f apache2 remove" to get rid of apache2.

I have not tried it but I believe that a ctl-c will also stop the ntpdate process and let the boot continue.

do this as root: update-rc.d

do this as root:
update-rc.d -f ntpdate remove
This will stop ntpdate from running at boot time.
